This could have been about a third of the length and not lost content. They damage many spirits, and may have people literally dying in their wake.
Snakes in Suits is a compelling, frightening, and scientifically sound look at exactly how psychopaths work in the corporate environment: what kind of companies attract them, how they negotiate the hiring process, and how they function day by day. Their thrill seeking behavior and political gamesmanship amasses them personal power without any regard to the consequences for either their companies or their co-workers.

They are delusional at so many levels that their brains defy logical reasoning.One simple method for dispelling sociopathic delusion is to Beware of fact-checking the sociopath by asking other people under his or her Another very valuable red flag to recognize when trying to spot a sociopath is to see how they deal with attacks on their own integrity. I'm not sure how helpful it is, either, although the last couple of chapters do make a pass at offering hints about how to cope if one is working with such a snake.This could have been about a third of the length and not lost content. It is VERY repetitive. Depending of which study you read, between 4 and 30% of our managers and executives are social predators without conscience. Wherever they go, they create strife, argument and hatred, yet they utterly fail to see their own role in creating it.

Snakes in Suits: When Psychopaths Go to Work is a 2006 non-fiction book by industrial psychologist Paul Babiak and criminal psychologist Robert D. Hare.

Babiak and Dr. Hare reveal the secret lives of psychopaths, explain the ways in which they manipulate and deceive, and help you to see through their games. In Snakes in Suits, Hare, an expert on the scientific study of psychopathy, and Babiak, an industrial and organizational psychologist and a leading authority on the corporate psychopath, examine the role of psychopaths in modern corporations and provide the tools employers can use to avoid and deal with them. I kept fastidious records and began looking for trends. And given the recent news of corporate malfeasance, ponzi schemes, and zealous greed driving economic policy, I had hoped to more fully understand how a limited number of corrupt individuals could unravel multinational companies and world markets and what sort of characters they might be.

As a recruiter, I battled to understand how from time to time I misread an individual completely. Picked this up after reading Ronson's "The Psychopath Test", as it appears in his references.
