Psychopaths in positions of power can wreak havoc on organizations from "summary" of Snakes in Suits by Dr. Paul Babiak,Dr. Robert D. Hare

The presence of psychopaths in positions of power can lead to destructive consequences within organizations. These individuals possess a unique set of characteristics that make them particularly adept at manipulation and deception. Their lack of empathy and remorse allows them to exploit others for personal gain without hesitation. In the context of a workplace, psychopaths in leadership roles can create a toxic environment where employees are pitted against each other in a ruthless power struggle. Their charm and charisma enable them to easily gain the trust and admiration of others, making it difficult for their true intentions to be recognized until it is too late. Psychopaths are skilled at using their persuasive abilities to manipulate situations to their advantage, often at the expense of others. They have a talent for spotting vulnerabilities in individuals and exploiting them for their own benefit. This can lead to a breakdown in trust and collaboration within the organization, as employees become wary of each other's motives. Furthermore, psychopaths in positions of power may engage in unethical or illegal behavior in order to achieve their goals. Their disregard for rules and regulations can have serious repercussions for the organization as a whole, leading to legal, financial, and reputational damage.
  1. The presence of psychopaths in leadership positions can have far-reaching and detrimental effects on organizations. It is crucial for individuals to be aware of the warning signs of psychopathic behavior and take steps to protect themselves and their colleagues from the potential harm that these individuals can cause.
