Another simple rule (which supports this) is that sociopaths will rise to the top of any large organization.
There is a line in an old Tom Clancy book where Jack Ryan’s son and one of his cousins are talking about Sociopaths. They say “The unsuccessful ones are called Sociopaths. The successful ones are called...Mr. President.”
For those that don’t know, the irony of that statement is that his father had become president by then.
Being a sociopath is like being a black and white thinker. It has its good points and its bad points. I wouldn’t want to be married to one, but they make excellent CEO’s, Judges, Generals, etc.
