    Plenty of CEOs are psychopaths, it’s practically a requirement to rise to the top. The business world would see him as one of their own.

        The psychopathy. This isn’t unique to CEOs, it applies to nearly anyone in a position of power since the dawn of time.

          As they say, power corrupts. So, really we should ask what psychopathic tendencies the CEO had before and after his/her rise to power.
