Huh, it really does make sense now that I think about it.
I hate how we live in a world where this kind of behaviour is not just accepted, it's often a desired trait. Lots of CEOs are psychopaths.
I think it's usually more their Machiavellinism that gets CEOs ahead in life. Psychopathy and Narcissism sit close to it on the Dark triad and have some overlaps, but of the three, Machiavellinism is probably the most impactful on Career success. I think it's useful to know the difference and recognize the specific traits, as anyone on the Dark Triad can be made to act perfectly pro-social given the right incentives!
