Hi {{ subscriber.first_name }},

12% of senior corporate leaders display a range of psychopathic traits.

This is a result of recent research by Simon Croom, a professor of supply chain management at the University of San Diego School of Business.

Other researchers believe that 20% of CEOs could be corporate psychopaths too.

According to the researchers, corporate psychopaths:

• often bully others, create conflict, discourage subordinates’ ideas, behave unethically, and even urge others to do the same
• create a hostile workplace environment, increase unhealthy competition, stress, absenteeism, disengagement

My view:

Corporate psychopaths are more than 12%.

Consider for example how many managers show these traits:

• they look friendly and charming but are snakes
• they devalue others to appear always the winners
• they cheat, manipulate and corrode the truth
• they take actions that show contradictions

Ultimately, a corporate psychopath in a key position of power will bring the company down because they will put their selfish desires over the needs of the business and its employees.
