Getting caught up the "empire building" business caused Walt to lose sight of what was really important in life, resulting in a situation in which he was directly responsible for dozens of deaths including that of his own brother-in-law and the complete abandonment of him by his family, not to mention an untold amount of collateral life destruction via the supply of his product.

Yeah, I get it, "Breaking Bad" is a hot topic right now. Great show! But is this really the show and character you want to base your sales force on? Jeez.

Also, FWIW, Walt was never a sociopath as the article says. Todd probably was, but Walt certainly wasn't.

You don't think Walt had a history of manipulating, exploiting, or violating the rights of others? I certainly do. And you're right - the post is meant to be a bit cheeky. I wouldn't really hire Walter White for my sales team, but I do think we can learn some things from him :)
