I was using Jesse as an example because people think that "being nice" is a requirement to being a good manager. You see, the absolute sole reason he was corrupt is because he was too nice and pampered his staff no matter how awful they were. It's a case of "indirect corruption".
But see in Jesse's case, it had nothing to do really with him being nice. He turned a blind eye to corrupt. I am sure being nice allowed it to continue for so long, but I wouldn't sight that as a major attribute for his lack of managing skills.

I understand what point you're trying to get across, but being nice and mean has little to do with how you help the server. I am not denying that it has any influence on the manager, but it's based solely in my opinion if the manager is doing his job as well as keeping staff in line.
