Most successful millionaire CEOs are psychopaths—here's why it doesn't have to be a bad thing via CNBCMakeIt
"I never feel guilty."If you think any of the statements above describe you, then you most likely have a tendency to display antisocial, callous and reckless behaviors. According a study dating back to 2010, there were at least three times as many psychopaths in executive or CEO roles than in the overall population. But more recent data found it's now a much higher figure: 20 percent .
2. They tend to be self-centered. This means they're generally less interested in others and have deficits in empathy. For this very reason, they are rarely found displaying any genuine consideration for people other than themselves. For example, during the last major tsunami that devastated Thailand, an Australian businessman became an instant hero with the media for single-handedly saving the lives of 20 people, yet it later transpired that this same individual had been a fugitive of the Australian police for years because of assault and robbery charges.
Jobs got fired from his own company and displayed clear patterns of low empathy and antisocial behavior: Parking in the disabled car park and bullying and intimidating his employees. Musk's narcissistic side has also been manifested — rather often — in his combative rants with investors, the media and his employees, as well as his confrontational and erratic social media presence.
To some degree, all successful entrepreneurs have problems with authority, which is why they are so eager to demolish the status quo and replace it with something else.
