Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.69,0:00:20.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Right. Hello, everybody. I'm here\Nto tell you a bit of a story about
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.37,0:00:25.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,why I got interested in the link between\Ncorporate psychopaths and bullying.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.16,0:00:29.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A long time ago, in a land far away,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.05,0:00:31.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was running a business\Nin the Far East,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.61,0:00:34.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and, as a part of that,\NI was moved offices.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.61,0:00:39.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And when I was moved offices,\NI was told I was getting a new boss.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.09,0:00:41.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And various people\Ncame up to me and said,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.45,0:00:45.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"You have to be careful about this\Nnew guy, this new boss you're getting.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.06,0:00:48.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He's very manipulative,\Nhe's very ruthless, very cunning,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.60,0:00:51.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he's almost downright evil.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.49,0:00:55.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I thought, hm, this guy sounds\Nlike a bit of a monster, a bit of a devil.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.44,0:00:58.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And when people say things like\Nthat to you, that's what you expect.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.90,0:01:00.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You expect to meet a monster.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.97,0:01:04.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What you actually meet\Nis an utterly charming man,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.29,0:01:07.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in a well-cut suit,\Nwho looks very attractive.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.70,0:01:12.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He's very sociable, very extroverted\Nand he doesn't look like a monster at all.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.48,0:01:16.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He looks like your next best friend.\NAnd so, you get confused.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.34,0:01:18.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then you think that these people\Nmust have been wrong.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.44,0:01:20.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,\N"He's not a monster, he's a nice guy.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.10,0:01:22.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm going to really enjoy working\Nwith this person."
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.66,0:01:25.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Looking back years later,\Npeople would say to me,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.91,0:01:30.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Well, how did you end up in\Nthe circumstances that you ended up with?"
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.94,0:01:36.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I could never answer that,\Nuntil I read about corporate psychopaths.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.11,0:01:38.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then it all clicked together.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.28,0:01:42.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, that's my personal reason\Nfor getting involved in psychopathy
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.33,0:01:44.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and corporate psychopaths.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.98,0:01:50.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, as I started to read about bullying\Nas a different part of my academic job,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.19,0:01:53.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I realized there's probably\Na large area of crossover
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.56,0:01:57.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,between bullies and psychopaths\Nin the workplace.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.63,0:02:02.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I started to look at bullying itself.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.24,0:02:08.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's usually described as being\Nthe regular and repeated belittling,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.24,0:02:13.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or humiliating, or, in some way,\Nintimidating a person,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.61,0:02:17.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's usually a single person,\Nin the workplace,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.59,0:02:19.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on a regular basis, as I said.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.68,0:02:26.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, it involves things like regular\Nconflict, arguments, yelling,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.97,0:02:32.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rudeness in the workplace,\Ndirected at a single person.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.10,0:02:37.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It seems to be all over\Nthe place, basically.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.26,0:02:39.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you look at the papers\Nto do with bullying,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.33,0:02:44.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it seems to be in every organization,\Nand significant numbers of people
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.64,0:02:49.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,have experienced it. Usually\Nit's in the 30 and 40 percentages.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.06,0:02:53.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And even organizations like
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.03,0:02:55.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the Departments of Consumer\Nand Employment Protection,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.62,0:02:59.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in Western Australia,\Nwhere I was at the time,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.38,0:03:02.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,whose job is to prevent bullying,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.29,0:03:07.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,were accused by their own staff\Nof having a culture of bullying.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.20,0:03:10.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the staff insisted that they\Nbring in private investigators
Dialogue: 0,0:03:10.51,0:03:14.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to investigate the bullying\Nthat was going on in the organization, \N
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.54,0:03:18.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that was there to prevent bullying.\NSo, it's all over the place.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.72,0:03:23.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, that made me think,\N"But, why? Why is it all over the place?"
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.50,0:03:28.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the other thing that struck me\Nin reading about it
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.24,0:03:31.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that companies and corporations\Nand organizations
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.32,0:03:33.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,don't seem to know what to do about it.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.96,0:03:39.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They tend to want to sweep it under\Nthe carpet, to pretend it doesn't exist.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.12,0:03:40.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And quite often, they'll do things like,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.85,0:03:44.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they'll pay off the people\Nwho are being bullied,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.95,0:03:49.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they'll insert a clause into that payoff,\Ninto that contractual arrangement,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.68,0:03:52.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,whereby they're not allowed\Nto talk about it.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.93,0:03:54.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it all gets swept under the carpet.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.90,0:03:57.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The bully, in the meantime,\Ngets promoted,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.40,0:04:02.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they're the only one that's\Nleft in the organization.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.80,0:04:05.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But there are many ethical\Nand financial reasons
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.81,0:04:09.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,why bullying should not be swept\Nunder the carpet,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.20,0:04:11.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and some of these are to do\Nwith individual reasons.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.61,0:04:14.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, the negative effects,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.13,0:04:18.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the psychological effects on the individual\Nconcern are quite devastating.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.54,0:04:21.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, they feel humiliated, belittled,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.05,0:04:26.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,their careers quite often\Nget ruined or disjointed.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.04,0:04:28.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They'll try and withdraw\Nfrom the workplace,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.44,0:04:32.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they'll seek other jobs,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.07,0:04:37.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they end up in lesser positions,\Nor unemployed,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.09,0:04:39.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or in jobs they don't really want to do.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.41,0:04:45.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And their confidence and motivation\Nis destroyed at a personal level.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:45.21,0:04:50.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But it also has an effect at a corporate\Nlevel or an organizational level as well,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.68,0:04:56.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because there's a typical\Nfight-or-flight response to being
Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.94,0:04:59.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in a conflict situation\Nor to being bullied.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.80,0:05:03.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, in terms of flight,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.38,0:05:05.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,people withdraw\Ntheir time and effort.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.94,0:05:13.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, they'll stop doing overtime, they'll\Nstop their extracurricular activities,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.70,0:05:18.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in terms of commitment to the organization\Nand helping the organization grow.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:18.70,0:05:20.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And they'll fight back
Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.99,0:05:23.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in terms of things like\Ncounterproductive work behavior.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.88,0:05:27.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, typically, if the bully\Nis your manager,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.00,0:05:29.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or your supervisor,\Nor your boss in some way,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.85,0:05:33.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you take him or her\Nas a representative of the company.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:33.100,0:05:38.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, therefore, your revenge is not\Non them particularly, as an individual.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:38.40,0:05:40.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It tends to be against the company.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.64,0:05:46.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, you'll stop working properly,\Nyou'll sabotage normal work processes,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.30,0:05:51.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you'll withdraw your effort and your\Ncommitment, as I said, to what you're doing.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:51.84,0:05:55.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the result of all that is just\Nfurther conflicts within the organization.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:55.50,0:06:01.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The ethical and moral climate\Nof the organization starts to diminish,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:01.00,0:06:05.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that has knock-on effects in terms\Nof how you treat your suppliers,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:05.17,0:06:10.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how you treat your tax returns\Nand everything else to do with the company.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:13.52,0:06:17.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, reading some of the literature\Non bullies and bullying,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:17.52,0:06:23.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there seems to be a sort of unspoken,\Nunderlying sense of bewilderment,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:23.05,0:06:25.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Who are these people?
Dialogue: 0,0:06:25.08,0:06:29.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Who are these people\Nthat enjoy watching people get hurt?"
Dialogue: 0,0:06:29.03,0:06:32.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,'Cause it doesn't seem\Na normal thing to do,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:32.01,0:06:37.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a normal thing to want to do or to enjoy\Ndoing, and they clearly enjoy it.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:37.01,0:06:39.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Reading about bullies,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:39.29,0:06:42.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the words that are used to describe them\Nare on the screen there.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:42.69,0:06:45.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, they enjoy hurting other people,\Nthey're cruel, they're selfish,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:45.73,0:06:48.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they're parasitic, Machiavellian,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:48.10,0:06:51.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you start to get in the literature\Na lot of words
Dialogue: 0,0:06:51.49,0:06:55.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to do with a dissocial personality.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:55.60,0:07:01.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, antisocial personality disorder,\Nsociopathy, psychopathy
Dialogue: 0,0:07:01.64,0:07:05.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and lots of these words\Nare similar to words
Dialogue: 0,0:07:05.63,0:07:09.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,used to identify corporate psychopaths.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:09.62,0:07:13.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, corporate psychopaths\Nare those psychopaths
Dialogue: 0,0:07:13.62,0:07:15.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who are about 1% of the population,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:15.87,0:07:20.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and just by the way, who go into\Norganizational and corporate positions,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:20.47,0:07:22.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rather than into a criminal career.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:22.81,0:07:25.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And psychologists have slowly\Ncome to realize
Dialogue: 0,0:07:25.79,0:07:30.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that those from better socioeconomic\Nbackgrounds, perhaps with a good education,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:30.81,0:07:36.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,good family background, work out\Nfairly early, that it's far easier
Dialogue: 0,0:07:37.48,0:07:41.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to get the power, the prestige,\Nand the money that they want
Dialogue: 0,0:07:41.49,0:07:45.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from a corporate career\Nthan it is from a criminal career.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:45.06,0:07:47.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so, they go into\Nthe corporate world.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:47.35,0:07:51.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, the same words are used\Nto describe them, these psychopaths,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:51.29,0:07:56.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as I used to describe bullies,\Nwith the exception that psychopaths,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:56.98,0:08:01.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the outstanding thing about psychopaths\Nis they have absolutely no conscience.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:01.14,0:08:05.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, there's nothing that inhibits them,\Nin terms of how they behave.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:05.73,0:08:10.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They can be totally ruthless\Nand sleep perfectly well that night,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:10.13,0:08:13.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because nothing they do bothers them,\Nbecause they don't have a conscience,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:13.85,0:08:20.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and there's no feeling,\Nno emotion in their lives.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:20.35,0:08:24.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, having realized that there's\Nprobably a large link
Dialogue: 0,0:08:24.52,0:08:28.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,between psychopathy and psychopaths\Nand bullying,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:28.10,0:08:32.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I thought it would be interesting\Nto do some research
Dialogue: 0,0:08:32.27,0:08:35.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to see how large that link actually is.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:35.33,0:08:37.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I took a psychopathy measure
Dialogue: 0,0:08:37.53,0:08:42.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from reading 200 and odd psychology\Npapers on psychopaths,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:42.25,0:08:44.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and embedded it\Nin a management survey
Dialogue: 0,0:08:44.77,0:08:50.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of management behavior,\Nfirstly doing this in Australia.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:50.66,0:08:55.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what I found was one\Nof the most outstanding things.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:55.69,0:09:00.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I found that psychopaths

Dialogue: 0,0:09:21.17,0:09:23.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I mean, under normal managers,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:23.75,0:09:28.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,employees encountered bullying\Nless than once a month.

Dialogue: 0,0:09:46.94,0:09:52.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because those results were so dramatic,\NI repeated it again in the U.K.

Dialogue: 0,0:09:59.25,0:10:04.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I found even more bullying\Nin the U.K. than I found in Australia.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:04.05,0:10:07.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I found that psychopaths\Nand corporate psychopaths
Dialogue: 0,0:10:07.89,0:10:12.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,were accounted for more of that bullying\Nthan they did in Australia.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:12.97,0:10:17.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, up to 36% of all bullying is down\Nto the presence of corporate psychopaths

Dialogue: 0,0:10:21.06,0:10:25.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the knock-on effects,\Nmore yelling, more arguments,

Dialogue: 0,0:10:32.60,0:10:37.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, under normal managers,\Neverything is, in terms of conflict,

Dialogue: 0,0:10:52.09,0:10:55.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In conclusion, I think that what I've —
Dialogue: 0,0:10:55.90,0:10:59.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Having established the link between\Ncorporate psychopaths and bullying,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:59.69,0:11:05.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it starts to explain some of the big\Nquestions that are to do with bullyings.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:05.81,0:11:09.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For example, why is it so pervasive\Nin all companies,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:09.46,0:11:12.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,around the world and in all countries?
Dialogue: 0,0:11:12.48,0:11:15.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, the answer to that might be that,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:15.01,0:11:18.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because psychopaths are 1%\Nof the population.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:18.06,0:11:22.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If we assume they are normally\Ndistributed across the whole population,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:22.90,0:11:26.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then, in every major company\Nthere will be psychopaths.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:26.08,0:11:28.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if there are psychopaths,\Nthere will be bullying.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:28.90,0:11:33.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, that explains why bullying\Nis so common.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:33.91,0:11:39.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The other thing it explains is\Nwhy bullying occurs in the first place.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:39.04,0:11:42.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Psychopaths bully for two main reasons.\NOne of them is predatory.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:42.98,0:11:46.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So they do it because they like it.\NThey do it because they enjoy it.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:46.21,0:11:49.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They do it because they like\Nto see people squirm.

Dialogue: 0,0:11:52.01,0:11:55.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that's the thing that's hard\Nfor the rest of us to understand.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:55.69,0:11:58.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's enjoyable. That's one\Nof the reasons they do it.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:58.65,0:12:02.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The other reason they do it is\Nwhat I've called instrumental bullying.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:02.82,0:12:09.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, they're doing it quite often to create\Nconfusion and chaos all around them,
Dialogue: 0,0:12:09.06,0:12:14.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that they can forward their own\Npolitical and social and career agendas,

Dialogue: 0,0:12:18.02,0:12:23.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, it creates a smokescreen for them\Nto get on with what they're really doing,
Dialogue: 0,0:12:23.13,0:12:26.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is gaining power, and influence,\Nand prestige,
Dialogue: 0,0:12:26.96,0:12:29.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and money within the corporation.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:29.08,0:12:32.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, anybody, for example, a boss\Nlooking down on this whole situation
Dialogue: 0,0:12:32.85,0:12:35.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of bullying and emotional reactions
Dialogue: 0,0:12:35.61,0:12:41.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,will see that the only person that seems\Nto have kept their cool is this psychopath,
Dialogue: 0,0:12:41.29,0:12:43.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because he started it all\Nin the first place.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:43.65,0:12:45.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And therefore, the only person\Nthat seems like they want...

Dialogue: 0,0:12:49.57,0:12:53.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, that's why it helps\Nto answer the question
Dialogue: 0,0:12:53.10,0:12:57.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of why psychopaths seem\Nto get promoted at the hierarchy
Dialogue: 0,0:12:57.43,0:12:59.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,more than ordinary people do.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:59.57,0:13:01.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because they create\Nconfusion around them
Dialogue: 0,0:13:01.89,0:13:06.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that enables them to forward their\Nown agenda to promote themselves.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:09.60,0:13:14.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, if you link it\Nat an organizational level,
Dialogue: 0,0:13:14.17,0:13:19.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,companies like Enron, which was\Nthe biggest fraud in history at the time,

Dialogue: 0,0:13:35.22,0:13:39.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that they could perpetuate this massive\Nfraud that was going on for years.
Dialogue: 0,0:13:39.21,0:13:43.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, it's a means to an end,\Nas well as an end in itself.
