Psychopaths Among Us

"Psychopaths love chaos and hate rules, so they're comfortable in the fast-moving modern corporation."

Psychopaths Among Us: "They have traits similar to ideal leaders. You would expect an ideal leader to be narcissistic, self-centred, dominant, very assertive, maybe to the point of being aggressive. Those things can easily be mistaken for the aggression and bullying that a psychopath would demonstrate. The ability to get people to follow you is a leadership trait,"

"Psychopaths can be found in legislatures, hospitals, and used-car lots. They're your neighbour, your boss, and your blind date. Because they have no conscience, they're natural predators. If you didn't have a conscience, you'd be one too."

About 1 percent of the population are psychopaths.
