Yes and no. There is brilliance and there is "being a jerk" and you can be brilliant and not a jerk and the organization will thrive, or you can be brilliant and a jerk and the organization will be better off without you.
When brilliant people are managed by strong managers, those that manage to team performance rather than those that manage to individual performance, they add value by not only doing a lot of work but helping everyone else do their best work. The problem occurs when a manager is weak and the brilliant person has 'jerk' tendencies which come out unchecked. Then everyone suffers.
It is sort of like managing sociopaths, you can do it if you can set up the scoring for them such that they 'win' if the group wins. And of course that is easy to write but very hard to put into practice.
