Mind-blowing findings! Who knows how much destruction of careers, and mental health, is happening in workplaces due to these people! In 50 years, no one will understand how we missed this!
Thanks Gwen, indeed, share with someone you feel could benefit from Clive's idea's. It's important to call out this stuff and raise awareness and thanks for listening :)
Good discussion. What you are really discussing is narcissism and the narcissistic personality disorder. All psychopaths are narcissists but not all narcissists are psychopaths. The prevalence of narcissism in today's society is extremely high and unfortunately not limited to corporate or political organisations. Narcissistic people tend to gather in packs and will surround themselves with enablers. An HR department is just as likely to have a narcissist in charge as any other department. Lots of mid-layer mgmt narcissists out there creating just as much havoc as senior levels. Narcissists are excellent actors and can instantly turn on the charm or the aggression, they fool so many unaware people Both grandiose and vulnerable narcissists will use passive aggressive behavoiurs to manipulate, control and bully others and passive aggressiveness is really hard to expose. A way forward: We really need to educate people on what narcissism is. High school would be a good place to start. We should not be scared to call out obvious narcissists in our midst like Trump, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Pelosi, Trudeau, Maddow, Buffet, Murdoch etc etc Focus on empathy and empathic characteristics. The biggest issue I see with no way out is that narcissists are over-represented in mission critical roles. How an earth can we ever hope to change that? Peace!

Thanks for listening Yogita, the sounds seems fine on my side. Are you listening on a phone? plug in earbuds Thanks for the tip and don't forget to share with anyone you think could benefit from the ideas Dr Boddy shares
The freedom from corporate psychopaths and the ability to successfully avoid them while recording every conversation with them, forcing them to be on their best behavior is most likely a top reason behind the popularity of remote work/zoom meetings etc.. . I'm sure family and work-life balance were by far #1, however remote work severed the accessibility to prey by corporate psychopaths while creating a surveillance that kept them in check, so if productivity improved by remote work in some companies it would be worth investigating. The pushback was intense which says a lot about how much relief workers feel by not having to go to the office to face an aggressive evil person, just so you can pay the bills and feed your children....
