The psychologist who wrote that book, is a motivational speaker
who goes to businesses and addresses interviewing new employees or fixing conflicts that arise in the business world.
These extreme types can drain resources and cause terrible upheaval.
There is another book I got from the library, called Snakes in Suits. That one addresses mostly Narcissistic psychopathic types. One of the authors of this book is a Canadian psychologist who has specialized in psychopathy for 20 yrs. He has some really interesting books!
I have seen this dynamic unfortunately in action! I decided to retire in fact early because the place I worked at could not deal with this problem...it was running amok!

Good post Mrs. D.,
It's late here so I will read article in morning.
But it reminded me of this stockbroker I know who is the most cut throat, ruthless,unconsciencable,deceitful person you can imagine. He cons the elderly out of their life savings for a living. I saw him today and I got chills down my spine when he looked at me. I think he may have even sold his soul.
