Today in class we learned about Psychopaths and the traits they have. Some of these traits are impassivity, lack of remorse or guilt, and failure to accept responsibilities for their actions. Psychopaths are willing to manipulate those around them through deception. But for some reason they make great CEO's, psychopaths are able to address things very well face to face. One CEO Steve Jobs who founded Apple has been called a psychopath based on people who have worked for him. He has a tendency to want things done is a specific way fashion. If people don't create a product he likes he wants people to re engineer the product. It does get the job done but he doesn't have any sympathy for when people do make mistakes. The telegraph conducted a study showing that study of 261 senior professionals in the US found that 21 percent had psychological traits. They came to the conclusion that 1 in 5 CEO's obtain psychopathic traits.

ReplyDeleteI think Steven Jobs is a sociopath based on how you described him. It seems that he is only interested in his personal desires and that contributes to his apathy towards his employees.
