Plenty of CEOs are psychopaths, it's practically a requirement to rise to the top. The business world would see him as one of their own.
Makes you wonder which came first: the psychopathy or the CEO position. Could be an interesting study to be performed, for sure.
The psychopathy. This isn't unique to CEOs, it applies to nearly anyone in a position of power since the dawn of time.
As they say, power corrupts. So, really we should ask what psychopathic tendencies the CEO had before and after his/her rise to power.
In business, I think it's less that power corrupts. CEO positions aren't being randomly handed to good people. The preexisting psychopathy, i.e. the ability to value money and profit over their fellow humans' livelihoods, is exactly what makes them suited for that position.
My guess is sociopathy. Same with politicians.
Pretty sure there were many psychopath cavemen but only like 1 or 2 CEO cavemen probably
Haha. Fair point!
