i kinda agree that the winnowing processes for leadership sometimes result in deficient characters making it to the top.

but the way i read the article, 3% of business people exhibit psychopathic behaviours.

and their definition of psychopathy sounds an awful lot like ruthless ambition.

i think a lot of leaders are ruthlessly ambitious and/or extremely vain. and this explains some issues.

but i am not so clear that ambition and/or vanity necessarily makes all of their decision-making awful.

and as you know, i tend to see the world as full of structural issues which create monsters out of normal people; rather than a surfeit of monsters in a world which leaves them free to act as they wish.

dictate to or govern over anybody.......

The psychopaths run this planet from finance to
politics to religion............is it so hard to
see?Smile
