When does self-deception do the most good?

Not quite the same as the previous denial post. Another Inner Economist interview.

In the lower rungs of the company, however, I would favor overly optimistic people, those who are motivated by the idea that they always have a chance of being promoted or earning more money. The higher up you are, the more I would prefer realism. A president who won't listen can be pretty disastrous.
