Snakes in Suits: When psychopaths go to work

Tuesday, December 6th, 2011

By Paul Babiak, PhD, and Robert D. Hare, PhD

This is a great book but a little frightening when you read it and ponder all of the possibilities. Is your boss a psychopath? Does the CEO make decisions so completely void of moral conscience you wonder why he is doing what he is doing? Does someone you work with get all of the promotions and recognitions they don’t deserve? Do you have a co-worker who lies about everyone? If you answer these questions yes, you may be dealing with a snake in a suit.

The trick when you are reading it is to not think everyone at work who is a jerk is psychopathic. Lots to think about even if you don’t want to.
