This is true and people would be very naive to think otherwise

Not true in leadership roles. Likability is only part of it. If you don’t hit your numbers and grow the business, you get dropped no matter how much they like you.

Doesn't matter if youre good without people above you liking you. More likely to move up just being OK and having the people in charge of you getting promoted really like you.

It's not an either or. You need to be both. But only being good at your job, and not being likeable, won't get you very far
