I currently work for a consulting company that is trying very hard to change these perceptions. We believe "Trust Changes Everything". Everyone in the company is encouraged to read the book "Speed of Trust" by Stephen Covey and model those behaviors. Everyone I work with takes pride in their work and making sure the highest value is delivered to our clients.

Exactly, to use the framing of "Speed of Trust" by Covey, trust has multiple dimensions, if you only focus on the skills and results dimension you end up with toxic employees with malicious intent or who have a profound lack of integrity and leave a trail of carnage throughout the organization. Whether you need to have a hierarchical managerial system to rectify this is another question, high functioning teams are perfectly capable of making this assessment themselves.

Another underappreciated factor are mental health issues. The chances are high that you will run into people that have undiagnosed ADHD, OCD, Aspergers, autism, bipolar, anti-social disorder in software engineering, or even that you might have a mental health problem yourself without knowing it.
