How "Bro Culture" Led To Downfall of Uber CEO

Last night on the way in to work, I was listening to a 2012 interview with Travis Kalanick - the now deposed ex-CEO of Uber - in which he was explaining his business philosophy and outlook on life. It was clear, from listening to his own words, that this is a man who believes "the rules" don't apply to him. In the aftermath of Ms. Fowler's devastating blog post, and other revelations which did not reflect well on Kalanick, (i.e. the YouTube video which went viral of him screaming at one of his employees), it became increasingly obvious that this guy has problems.
Fortune magazine (and other sources) have written quite a bit about Kalanick's downfall. It's another case of out-of-control pride and hubris gone to excess. This is just me reading between the lines, but I get the sense that Kalanick thought he was the second coming of Steve Jobs ... The thing though is that there is only one Steve Jobs.
