Tom Plate's book "Confessions of an American Media Man" is highly enjoyable, probably all the more so by media students, past included.
He has this to say about geniuses:
"... The probability is that in six months, you would be suicidal about having hired this so-called genius. ... in real life, there are very few geniuses. ... What you probably would be stuck with is someone who is not a genius and someone who makes you miserable to be around. Talented and great to hang out/work with, the John Walshes of the world were extremely rare."
