Maybe not life, as that depends on what you want from it, but career/job, definitely.

That makes the assumption in order to put yourself oneself in a position to be promoted, one has to be a tough, no nonsense, hardass.
But someone who is truly likable, can work hard, and get others to work hard, without seeming to be a bastard. When people truly like the boss, they're happy to go the extra mile for him/her.
