Beware the Corporate Psycho Boss
Have you ever secretly thought that a colleague – or even your boss – behaves like a psychopath? Well you may well be right.
A study published in New Scientist magazine has found that there are far more sub-criminal psychopaths – self-serving, narcissistic schemers who display a stunning lack of empathy, but are not criminally inclined – at large in the population than had previously been thought. And many of them end up in managerial positions.
Around one per cent of the population – or 600,000 people in Britain alone – can be categories as psychopathic, according to Professor Robert Hare of the University of British Columbia in Canada.
And because ‘corporate psychopaths’ display similar ruthless traits to sadistic killers, they often gravitate towards roles in business the media, law and politics where their scheming and bullying is just part of everyday working life.
They tend to be manipulative, arrogant, callous, impatient, impulsive, unreliable, superficially charming and prone to fly into rages. They break promises, take credit for the work of others and blame everyone else when things go wrong.

Discussions with corporate authority figures almost always utilize the questions of
1) Where do “we ” want to go ?
2) How will we get there ?
3) How we will measure how far we have gone or when we get there ?
there are endless varieties on these themes
Along the way the maxims can be spiced or jazzed up with:
- What went right ?
- What went wrong ?
- who to blame ?
- who not to blame ?
- who was there ?

Its Not in the Budget – Or the Committee Will Have to Look At..
1 Comment · Posted by admin in Uncategorized
One of the most common ways and means that managers and executives play it safe and within the “rules” is to rigidly adhere to “budgets” and the “numbers” as if these were carved in stone and came from the heavens. Its all about non risk taking – why bring attention to yourself or your superior/ boss. Never take chances but blame your workers for anything yet take credit for anything positive that occurs. Its all about keeping those corporate “perks” or “entitlements” not about the profit or health that the firm might profit from. “I am entitled” “Those are just salesman / workers / peons”. Talk about anal retentive behavior.
The words “its not in the budget” or ‘x, y , zee committee will have to examine it” have rebounded from the dawn of time and have probably squelched more innovation than can ever be found in the universe. Yet these same idiots will sure take credit for results when some poor employee in an effort to please his superior or even keep their paycheck goes out on the limb to adopt the procedures / against stated policies and procedures. Guess what happens if “things don’t work out”.

The conservative mentality at many present corporations and management often goes without any question or inquiry – it just is a fact of life taken at face value – not unlike how wife beating or chasing cars that cut off a driver are seen as perfectly normal and acceptable behavior in many abnormal pathological families of origin.
As an example the conservative mentality at Proctor and Gamble lives on. New ideas are tested in focus groups for promotion , ad copy or package first in a focus group , then in a city , region and eventually the country.
This procedure was down without question as if there were no differences what so ever in populations ,regions languages or even ages. Different people and different types of people in different surroundings may well think , act and purchase products differently based on different preferences and parameters and yet after the purchase or decision may have different types of post cognitive dissonance.
