Description: Let's say you're
about to hire somebody for a position in your company. Your corporation wants
someone who's fearless, charismatic, and full of new ideas. Candidate X is
charming, smart, and has all the right answers to your questions. Problem
solved, right? Maybe not.
We'd like to
think that if we met someone who was completely without conscience -- someone
who was capable of doing anything at all if it served his or her purposes -- we
would recognize it. In popular culture, the image of the psychopath is of
someone like Hannibal Lecter or the BTK Killer. But in reality, many
psychopaths just want money, or power, or fame, or simply a nice car. Where do
these psychopaths go? Often, it's to the corporate world.
Researchers Paul
Babiak and Robert Hare have long studied psychopaths. Hare, the author of
Without Conscience, is a world-renowned expert on psychopathy, and Babiak is an
industrial-organizational psychologist. Recently the two came together to study
how psychopaths operate in corporations, and the results were surprising. They
found that it's exactly the modern, open, more flexible corporate world, in
which high risks can equal high profits, that attracts psychopaths. They may
enter as rising stars and corporate saviors, but all too soon they're abusing
the trust of colleagues, manipulating supervisors, and leaving the workplace in
shambles.
