Snakes in Suits

Paul Babiak, Robert D. Hare

Not every charming, successful executive is who they appear to be. This book applies rigorous psychopathy research to the corporate world, revealing how some rise to power through calculated manipulation rather than genuine ability.

Drawing on decades of psychopathy research, this book examines how psychopathic individuals operate inside corporate environments — using charm and calculated manipulation to rise quickly — and offers guidance for recognizing the warning signs before real damage is done.
