Anyone involved with management will learn to implement ideas vital to the future success of their company, including changing the language of the work environment and motivating employees to be not only great workers, but great individuals.

In a comprehensive summary and evaluation of the clinical literature, this book seeks to dispel the myth that personality disorder is simply a category for those problem individuals for whom nothing can be done. With detailed coverage of recognition, assessment and management, Drs Dowson and Grounds provide a co-ordinated empirically-based account of those aspects of personality disorders which are of relevance to psychiatrists and allied disciplines, including clinical psychologists, social workers, criminologists, specialist nurses and primary care physicians.

Download or read book Corporate Psychopathy written by Katarina Fritzon and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-23 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the conceptualization of psychopathic personality disorder for criminal/forensic populations and examines in depth the emerging phenomenon of the ‘corporate psychopath’. In doing so its authors expose the paradoxical nature of the disorder: while it is frequently associated with antisocial, criminal and predatory behaviour, more recent studies have highlighted examples of creative, visionary and inspiring leaders who are also found to present a high degree of psychopathy. They focus on the nature, behaviours and consequences of psychopathy in executives and across the organization, offering an important contribution to the emerging body of research on psychopathy and other problematic personality constructs in the workplace. The book will appeal to scholars, students and professionals across the discipline, and particularly to those working in workplace, forensic and personality psychology.
Download or read book Psychopaths at Work written by Phil Coleman and published by . This book was released on 2017-08-10 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PSYCHOPATHS AT WORK: Corporate Psychopaths and How To Spot Them"Psychopaths... people who know the differences between right and wrong, but don't give a sh*t. That's what most of my characters are like." ― Elmore Leonard What intrigues me with this quote is that in general, psychopaths do not have a conscience state to realize what is the difference. There is no reality of right and wrong in their psyche, and they do not need to look for a karmic balance to their actions from others. Psychopathy is just another word that is formed from the definitions of those who limit this personality disorder or mental health diagnosis as one that has no etheric connection to their past. It can be hard to find a reliable prognosis for psychopathy when the world is so cut off from higher bouts of communication to know more. It means many psychopaths are analyzed in the simplest form; free from anything otherworldly. Yet in the workplace setting, psychopaths can spell bad news - both for the well-being of their colleagues, and the bottom line in their organisations. This book examines the mind of psychopaths in the workplace, as well as how you can identify them at a glance, so you can steer well clear of the psychopaths at work.
