Believe me, I've seen the unhappy math.

Massive egos have been the driving force behinds all kinds of extraordinary achievements because massive egos are given to extraordinary measures in a way that ordinary or at least non-pathological people aren't.

If such a personality is the cost to the goal I stated beforehand, I think that it's a worthwhile trade.
