The "snakes in suits" know how to blend in and manipulate their way to the top from "summary" of Snakes in Suits by Dr. Paul Babiak,Dr. Robert D. Hare
The intriguing and unsettling reality is that certain individuals possess a unique ability to effortlessly blend in with their surroundings, appearing as harmless and trustworthy as a sheep in a flock. However, beneath this façade lies a cunning and manipulative nature that allows them to navigate the complex social dynamics of the workplace with ease. These individuals, aptly referred to as "snakes in suits," possess a rare talent for charming their way into the confidence of others, all while concealing their true intentions and motives. Their ability to manipulate and deceive is a carefully honed skill that enables them to climb the corporate ladder with remarkable speed and efficiency. By leveraging their charm, charisma, and persuasive abilities, they effortlessly win over colleagues and superiors alike, positioning themselves as indispensable assets within the organization. However, their seemingly flawless façade belies a darker truth - a cold and calculating mindset that prioritizes personal gain above all else. For the "snakes in suits," the workplace serves as a fertile hunting ground where they can exploit the vulnerabilities and weaknesses of others for their own benefit. Whether through subtle manipulation, deceitful tactics, or outright sabotage, they are adept at achieving their goals at the expense of those around them. Their lack of empathy or remorse allows them to navigate the cutthroat world of corporate politics with ease, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Despite their deceptive nature, the "snakes in suits" are masterful at evading detection, often evoking admiration and respect from unsuspecting colleagues. Their ability to maintain a charming façade while engaging in ruthless behavior sets them apart from their more transparent counterparts, allowing them to wield considerable influence and power within the organization. It is this duality - the ability to blend in seamlessly while manipulating their way to the top - that makes them such formidable and dangerous adversaries in the corporate world.
