“There are tests for psychopathy and they should be used as gating tests for employment in government and corporations.”
If the corporations run by psychopaths compete more successfully in the marketplace, then why would they want to exclude them?
There are several problems with having these folks at the top of the corporate food chain:
—They will steal from the corporation, focusing on their own perks at the expense of shareholders.
—They treat their employees like dirt, which tends to lower morale and increase turnover—this leads to a loss in productivity. In addition these employees will seek revenge, stealing corporate secrets, sabotaging corporate operations, etc.
—They are more likely to force the corporation to violate the law in a variety of ways, which may lead to better profits long term but big-time legal problems long term.

CGBG explained it in Post 24.
The psychopath - even non-violent “sociopaths” - only operate for themselves and typically leave a scorched earth in their wake. They end up destroying entities, not saving them. That’s because they are only interested in themselves, the greater good be damned.
Corporations that tolerate that end up going down in the end. Been there, seen that.
Because they are an unacceptable risk.
They are not interested in the company but in their own impulses and desires. So having them in charge means that if selling out the company means they would get one of their own desires satisfied they will do so without hesitation.
So there goes your billion dollar company down in flames because your psychopath in charge wanted to have sex with a rattlesnake.
