There was a study, years ago, where they found that socio/psychopaths made up like 30% of all C-Suite employees. In the larger population, they make up less than 2%, and that’s including all partial diagnoses. Add onto that the fact that most upper-level staff at any major firm these days are dipshit Business Idiots who know fuck all about jack shit, and you get the modern irrational economy.
When you layer masking on top of that, you get a skilled individual that can navigate a lot of business situations. This all happens because they’re incredibly useful traits for making money, above all else. Ethics be damned.

The presence of narcissism and sociopathy in the C-suite is due to selection bias, specifically for people with “bold” personality traits.
