Sociopaths are the only people qualified for the C-suite. The problem isn’t that the wrong people are getting positions high up. It’s that the structure of corporationa is designed for that.
It’s not just corporations, it’s any hierarchical organization. Governments are a fantastic example of this, the higher you go up the chain, the more detached they get from the reason they started down that path. Even charities can have that problem, terrible people sometimes do good things for their own selfish reasons.
In a competitive poorly regulated capitalist economy that’s driven by bottom lines and dividends, I’m pretty sure being a narcissistic sociopath is a prereq for the C suite
We need to find a way to prevent sociopaths from making it to the C-suite.
