In addition, though people with extreme dark triad personality features might be rare, I am under the impression that a massively disproportionate number of them are in positions of power.

My first comment seemingly got lost in the dark of the web... 🙁 Okay, let's go again...! 🙂 Thank you doctor, this video was very helpful to me. It explains to me why "our dark friends" approach me very positively first (with my naive radiance they might think I'm an ideal fascilitator or their agent) and after a while, when they notice that I have very strong moral convictions, just not the conventional ones, everything becomes very hostile between me an them.

Dark triad individuals are entrenched in positions of power. And they will help each other keep it that way out of self-interest. No douchebag in his right mind would encourage "a complaining policy". Even if it serves to dethrone a rival, it would eventually backfire on him and cripple their power. They don't want to give away 1 inch of the power they have over people. So that's a no!

“In northwest Alaska, kunlangeta "might be applied to a man who, for example, repeatedly lies and cheats and steals things and does not go hunting, and, when the other men are out of the village, takes sexual advantage of many women." The Inuits tacitly assume that kunlangeta is irremediable. And so, according to Murphy, the traditional Inuit approach to such a man was to insist he go hunting, and then, in the absence of witnesses, push him off the edge of the ice.” ― Martha Stout, The Sociopath Next Door

One of the worst things about these situations is that the higher ups above these people tend to overlook this behavior when they are perceived to be high performers (whether or not they actually are is another story). Solid video. 💯

When the owner/CEO is a narcissist you are totally screwed. Quit ASAP once you figure out that you're working for one. I worked for one and after 6 months he totally turned on me despite my working 10-12 hour days and accomplishing so much in a short amount of time. I was shocked and stayed with it at the time because I didn't know about narcissism and I was committed to turning the company around. I should have quit right then but stayed another year, enduring abuse from the CEO/Owner. Big mistake.

This was mainly female coworkers from what i saw and i remember hearing it being addressed often in meetings, but nothing came of it. Nothing sexual, but a lot of snide remarks. Used to eat lunch with them, and each Friday a person would bring cake etc. This city manager would target a female intern that was overweight. He would make remarks if she had some, and one time it got so bad that she stopped coming to work on Fridays. Nobody did anything or said anything that would stop this behavior. Since i was just stepping in for another guy in this job, i had nothing holding me back from "humiliating"/talking back to this manager. The silent bystander effect infuriates me and i did the same shit i despise seeing.

Ethics and good moral skills should be repeatedly reminded, together with more horizontal spread responsibilities, on which the performances of each individual can be checked and improved. So, again, I totally agree with your analysis and would add to this that it s good personal developments, creativity and personal satisfaction, which creates less depressed or oppressed people. Maybe it s even a cure to that old ceasar's believe that u have to divide to win. I think too many believe this with admiration, so they maybe only want to imitate behaviors like this. By not believing this, maybe some non core dark triad traits may actually quickly drop that part of themselves, that was maybe just coming from that wrong believe. This could be so good for each one of us and for all too. My mini opinion on this.

It is really encouraging that corporations are becoming educated enough to understand the dangers these individuals represent and calling on psychological expertise to prevent and correct the problems. Maybe in another generation we will have eliminated the liklihood that this sort of leader infiltrates an organization, parasitically feeding on it for his own ends and eventually subverting or destroying it. The world would be so much better.

Sounds like the company I work for, to a T. And yeah, I'm too scared to do anything about it due to my social anxiety

Dr. Gande, ever see the movie "In the Company of Men"? Arron Eckhart's character sure fits this description. And in the real world, according to my oldest sister, EVERY boss she's ever had qualify too.

Any else that look at narcissism as a super weak personality trait? I think narcissists are the easiest persons to spot and read. Then being able to manipulate them much easier bcs they love attention, so you give it in small doses so they get like a drug, but in a controlled amount Psychopaths in other hand are much harder to manipulate bcs you always need something they need in order to gain their attention. You cannot never ever give the thing they want from you and never ever trust a psychopath wont attack, so never be alone with one Psychopaths are much much harder thought bcs with narcissists all you need is words and they buy into whatever you are selling. They are so high on their own farts that they miss out on obvious cues with psychopaths being so low in consciousness makes them more awake in the moment and can analyze everything you are doing, having much higher chance of not being fooled

Yep, it needs some balls and authority in the first place to do so. You can't enforce that without authority, and authority seats are already taken by massively douchebags who will certainly view this kind of policy as a threat to his own position. So good luck with that. I live in Brazil, a place ruled by assholes. If you stand up for their abuse or denounce their misdeeds, oh boy...better be ready for retaliation. Because that axe is coming straight for your head and no one is gonna side with you if you don't have power and influence in the first place. So sometimes what we see is actually these social predators committing mutual destruction and engaging in confrontations to determine who has the biggest dick. Like a federal police officer stoping a drunk state officer and trying to arrest him only to be met by a very rude and aggressive entitled behavior that he can't be arrested. "Do you know who I am nigga? I'm motherfucker state police modafucka!" And they both do this pathetic dance to see who comes out on top, but at the same time they don't go all out at each other because they both are armed . Now this scenario with a civilian, totally different. If you show any kind of audacity towards an officer, you will probably be assaulted, have a gun pointed to your face, verbally abused, spanked, possibly killed (if there are no witnesses) and they will just put on their report that you are a dangerous person that tried to resist. No punishment or accountability at all, they will just be on with their routine in no time. Public offices and police in general is very tempting on these dark triad traits, specially in a country with unarmed population. They basically can do whatever they want. Even there are many good hearted, the temptation will be there. Power corrupts the best of men. And some aren't even good-hearted in the first place, so they already join looking for the perks of being an douche and getting away with it.

Sounds like just about everybody in D.C. these days!!!

Question: How would characterize management's willingness to downrate almost all of the staff as a condition of the managers' having their salaries raised? Believe or not, this is something the OPM required some time ago -- which management readily went along with all the while telling the staff the motive for the downrating was something else (a general raising of standards to a perfectionistic degree for which no credible justification was even offered or explanation of how this would help the staff produce better work). The shift of standards however was used to drive out older employees while protecting management from claims of unlawful discrimination. The new perfectionistic standards were, of course, applied in a subjective way --- giving management a wide berth to force out whomever they chose -- many decades-long employees who had received very good ratings throughout their careers and all of a sudden they supposedly weren't good enough. All the while, the managers salaries were raised. Thank you for any insight you can provide.eeee

A little bit of douchery is fine, but let it going unchecked can be very destructive to the social fabric of a company, a family, a country, or the whole world...

There are always ways of wielding "soft power" - even someone who is not a manager still has the ability to speak up and to influence others. It works best if they can be as calm and objective as possible while still being firm that the behavior is not acceptable (just imagine Dr. Grande). It's most effective when this is done early, before things get out of hand! However there is a certain point where the situation becomes irredeemable, and everyone has to decide for themselves when that is, it's not always obvious. If you're going to stay be sure you're one of the ones speaking up -- if you can't do that, it's time to go. Never let yourself become a bystander (or conspirator!); you will lose your self-respect, and that is much, much worse than losing a job.

Do most narcissists behave at work as they have at home? I was married to one (or at least our marital counselor told me he is a narcissist) for many years and his control/abuse was covert but increased exponentially over the years. I've wondered since I left him how he gets by because I assume he needs a target to help regulate his feelings. He always seemed to do well at work from what I saw except he would manipulate situations so he didn't have to attend meetings and he would insist the company invest in his ideas regarding technology or investments. Living with this kind of person really leaves one confused and obsessed with finding answers to make sense of things.

Thanks Dr.Grande ... Wouldn't 'Making fast, impulsive decisions ...' be more aligned with sociopathy ... Or is it just that out of the triad, it is most closely aligned to psychopathy (and/or, psychopathy in the context of the triad is taken to extend to Type 2 Psychopathy/Sociopathy/'AP[D] traits' in general ... ?) ... Was just wondering if you'd be kind enough to comment on/clarify this for me, please? Many thanks! 🙏

Hello dr. Grande. Would you like to do a video about free will. As I understand neuroscience has not been able to determine whether people actually have free will or not. To me the premise of free will, which also could be described as a 'causless cause', seems like magical thinking that has a profound impact on an individual, as well as society as a whole. Perhaps this topic is too philosophical and comprehensive to discuss, but I would very much like to hear what your thoughts are on the possible individual benefits and disadvantages of thinking a person has free will or not and perhaps the effects this proposition has on society: for example, parenting, legal system, the approach to addiction, financial reward system, the cohesion of a community. It sure is a Grande topic!

I also agree that it seems there's a diagnosis for every state of being that can be distinguished and that it's getting worse, this is likely at least partially motivated by economical reasons. I have personal experience with mental health practitioners, I might have been lucky but most of them seemed to be aware of the things Thomas Szasz refers to. Ultimately it depends on individual mental health practitioners I think, perhaps it also depends on the laws and regulations of the country you're living in. Even though a person may desire a different situation than he or she is experiencing and it's the job of a doctor/counselor to guide this person to 'get there', saying a person is ill is always a matter for debate, even when someone has cancer I would say. In essence everybody is a product of nature, who are we to make a judgement.

Darkness! You can feel to the core.

;-) Dr. Grande I am going to let all of the leaders out there with dark triad traits manage themselves by not inviting someone like that to work with me, by not allowing them back into my life, and by never encouraging those traits in anyone whom I am working with and if they continue to express those traits after I point out that I am not comfortable with doing things their way then asking them to leave or limiting my cooperation with them to the bare minimum is best because I am never going to be wise and smart enough to change people who insist on expressing their dark triad traits while having to depend on any income from being associated with one or more people who insist on being like that.

Whether it’s a new start up or a high end profession, when the individual is highly productive then why would a business choose to release or replace such a person if they’re not destructive and productive?

Unfortunately many institutions, including higher education, healthcare, and industry are controlled by individuals who have one or more of the traits of the dark triad. Having been in healthcare and mental health care for more than 50 years I have seen it many, many, many times. These traits combined with analytic intelligence and education are the main assets for success in our society. We live in a declining civilization. The behavior of large institutions, government and corporations and the mundanity of injustices small and large have resulted in a vast number of people here and around the world to distrust government and organizations. This distrust has been exploited by the very people who have the dark triad. They poison the water , then tell all that are sick from it, "someone else poisoned it" and they will purify it.

I don't normally make negative comments, but... the notion that a person's true traits are portrayed when they have more and more power, is I have to conclude, false. That would be like suggesting a person reaches their ultimate self when they achieve infinite power. I would suggest that each person has a threshold of morality / power balance, after which point adding more power to that person ( in that situation ) brings out characteristics of the dark triad ( and/or other negative traits, like sadism ), and those characteristics are a natural deviation of the human being in situations of excessive power. We can only make so many moral calculations. Different people have different capacities in different situations. And, of course, some natural level of power distribution is a good thing. Not disagreeing with that. An interesting juxtaposition is people with too little responsibility or power. What traits does that bring out !? And in both situations, it seems self evident that good exercise of moral decision making and nurtured moral decision making, makes it easier to keep a moral balance in daily aspects of life, and challenges.
