Your best performer might be running on narcissism, Machiavellianism, or psychopathy, and the org chart rewards it. This is the Dark Triad without the textbook, applied to the office and the relationships you can't just walk away from.

In this episode:
- What the Dark Triad actually is, and what it isn't (it's not a diagnosis)
- The difference between admiration seeking and rivalrous narcissism at work
- Why Machiavellianism plays the long game across quarters, not meetings
- Corporate psychopathy: the B Scan and why charm is the tell, not the alibi
- The halo effect and why confident people get away with it
- A validated fast-read method (Dirty Dozen scale) and how to use it responsibly
- The organisational cost data behind toxic leadership traits

If you work with people, you work with this. Listen before your next performance review.
