It’s Friday - copy-paste from Harvard Business Review:
- Narcissism was positively linked to salary
- Machiavellianism was positively linked to leadership level and career satisfaction
- individuals with psychopathic and narcissistic characteristics gravitated towards the top of the organizational hierarchy and had higher levels of financial attainment
- Base rate for clinical levels of psychopathy is three times higher among corporate boards than in the overall population
- Dark triad traits tend to enhance competitiveness, if only by inhibiting cooperation and altruistic behaviors at work
- dark triad personality characteristics constitute the essence of the freeriding
- An intermediate – rather than low – level of Machiavellianism predicts the highest level of organisational citizenship, perhaps because Machiavellian individuals are politically savvy and good at networking and managing upwards
- Best leaders displayed the bright-side features of narcissism while inhibiting its dark-side traits: they were high in egotism and self-esteem but low in manipulativeness and impression management
...for me, it’s all about Balance
