"Is your boss a psychopath?", from the Guardian
Interesting article about how many leaders seem to exhibit more personality disorders than criminally-minded psychopaths.
Other studies have revealed, rather surprisingly, that mental ability does not in itself result in success. It has to be combined with exceptional social skills and of these, chameleonism and machiavellianism - common in many PDs - are important. Since such people earn more and go higher than ones without these traits, it supports the idea that many leaders have PDs. But perhaps the most persuasive indirect evidence concerns leaders' deeper motivations.
