"'The "dark side" of human personality, as a whole, refers to a disposition to ethically, morally and socially questionable behaviours,' she wrote. 'Each of these dark traits is characterized by singular features such as grandiosity in narcissism, alliance-building and manipulation in Machiavellianism, self-control deficit in psychopathy, and enjoyment of cruelty in sadism.' She said each trait can have a different effect on employees and warned in some cases there are links between dark personalities and 'abusive practice' by supervisors."
"'Leaders with dark personality traits appear in their social interactions as insensitive, manipulative, excessively demanding, authoritarian, too self-sufficient, distant, critical, arrogant or with an exaggerated desire to please,' she said. This can end up causing 'significant interpersonal conflicts in the long term'. As part of her paper, Professor Fernández-del-Río identified the key features of each personality trait. Psychopathy is defined by a lack of self-control, emotion coldness, an erratic lifestyle, lack of guilt and remorse and antisocial behaviour, she said."
The 'dark side' of human personality refers to a disposition toward ethically, morally and socially questionable behaviours. Dark leadership traits include grandiosity in narcissism, alliance-building and manipulation in Machiavellianism, self-control deficit in psychopathy, and enjoyment of cruelty in sadism. Leaders with these traits appear insensitive, manipulative, excessively demanding, authoritarian, overly self-sufficient, distant, critical, arrogant or possess an exaggerated desire to please. These characteristics can produce significant interpersonal conflicts and can be linked in some cases to abusive supervisory practices. Psychopathy involves lack of self-control, emotional coldness, erratic lifestyle, lack of guilt and antisocial behaviour. Narcissism involves excessive self-love, grandiosity, entitlement and a need for constant admiration.
