Geraint Anderson, a former London banker, discusses how traits associated with psychopathy—such as manipulation, lack of empathy, and fearlessness—can be advantageous in high-powered corporate environments. He believes some workplaces reward these traits, which he developed to succeed in finance, but emphasizes that psychopathy is a personality disorder marked by antisocial behaviors. Anderson was assessed as having some traits of psychopathy, and experts note that such traits are often exploited in competitive industries, though there is no treatment for psychopathy itself. He eventually left finance, becoming an author and commentator on the culture of ruthless ambition in the corporate world.
