Do you work with someone who has a complete lack of remorse or guilt? A pathological liar who is manipulative and egotistical, but can present with a glib and superficial charm?
In this timeless 2005 story from ABC TV’s Catalyst program, reporter Jonica Newby examines the phenomenon of the corporate psychopath - a character-type which seems to be prospering in these days of short-term goals and high-staff turnover.
Corporate psychopaths lack empathy, but can succeed in job interviews because they come across as very confident, full of self esteem and with no doubts and no hesitations. It’s not until much later that the tell-tale symptoms of broken promises, occasional fraud and an inability to retain staff exposes their destructive impact.
Sadly, the evidence suggests that corporate psychopaths are impossible to rehabilitate, so what should you do should you find yourself working with one?
