Why (Some) Psychopaths Make Great CEOs


Snakes in Suits

Psychopathy is a personality disorder that has been variously described as characterized by shallow emotions such as a lack of fear, lack of empathy, coldheartedness, superficial character, lack of guilt, egocentricity, manipulativeness, irresponsibility, impulsivity and antisocial behaviors such as parasitic lifestyle.

Ethical standards of entire organizations can be badly damaged if a corporate psychopath is in charge.

The organizational psychopath craves the god-like feeling of power and control over other people.

Organizational psychopaths appear to be intelligent, sincere, clever, charming and entertaining communicators.

They quickly assess what people want to hear and craft stories that fit those expectations.

36 laws of CEO power



never appear superior

never appear superior

Let everyone believe they are superior to you
- appearing better than others is always dangerous.

Envy always creates silent opponents.





never trust allies

Be wary of allies - they will betray you.

You have more to fear from allies than from
opponents as you let your guard down around allies.





conceal your intentions

Use smoke and mirrors.





never tell the whole story

Make vague, open-ended,
and sphinxlike statements
and answer questions the same way

- this conceals your intentions.





steal other peoples ideas and work

Use the wisdom, knowledge, and legwork
of other people to further your own cause
.

Save yourself valuable time and energy,
while giving yourself a godlike aura of efficiency.





Great Bee Die-Off


force others to act

When you force others to act, you are the one in control.

It is always better to make your opponent come to you.





never attempt to use a reasoned argument

Any momentary triumph gained through
intelligent argument is really a Pyrrhic victory
- the resentment and ill emotional will you stir up is stronger
and lasts longer than any momentary concession
.

It is much more powerful to get others
to agree with you through mimicking your actions
.





avoid those who are unhappy

You can not make anyone happy.


Misery is infectious as disease

due to mirror neurons.


The unfortunate draw misfortune on themselves

as crushed spirits stand out as victims.





The Two Faces of Anthony Fauci

Fauci explains asymptomatic transmission


keep people dependent on you


To maintain your independence you

must always be needed and wanted
.


Never teach them enough so

that they can do without you
.




Gateway to the Heavens


use selective honesty to disarm


One sincere and honest move will

cover dozens of dishonest ones
.


Open-hearted gestures of honesty bring down the guard.

Once your selective honesty opens a hole in their armor,

you can deceive and manipulate them at will.




Hold My Hand


never ask for help when you need it

When you do you become subservient.





everyone is your opponent

Ask indirect questions to get opponents
to reveal their weaknesses and intentions.

There is no occasion that is not an opportunity
to understand opponents mental process'
.





crush your opponents totally

All great leaders since Moses have known
that a feared opponent must be crushed completely.
(Sometimes they have learned this the hard way.)

If one ember is left alight,
no matter how dimly it smolders,
a fire will eventually break out
.





stay mysterious

The more you are seen and heard from,
the more common you appear.

Create value through scarcity.






cultivate an air of unpredictability

Humans are creatures of habit with
an insatiable need to see familiarity in other's actions.

Be deliberately unpredictable.

Behavior that seems to have no consistency or
purpose will keep opponents off balance,
trying to figure out your next move will keep them anxious.

Taken to an extreme,
this strategy can terrorize opponents.






make no commitments

It is the fool who always rushes to commit.

Do not commit to any side or cause but yourself.

By maintaining your independence,
you become the master of others.

Play opponents against one another.

Make them pursue you.






transform weakness into power

When you are weaker,
never fight for honor;
choose surrender instead.

Surrender gives you time to recover,

time to torment and irritate your conqueror,

time to wait for your opponents power to wane.

Do not give opponents the satisfaction

of fighting and defeating you – run and hide.

By turning the other cheek you infuriate and unsettle opponents.

Use surrender as a tool of power.






concentrate your strength

Conserve your forces and energies by
keeping them concentrated at their strongest points.

When looking for sources of power to elevate you,
find key patrons,
fat cows who will give milk for a long time to come.






reject societal conditioning

Do not accept the roles that society foists on you.

Re-create yourself by forging a new identity,
one that commands attention and never bores the audience.

Be the master of your own image rather than letting others define it for you.

Incorporate dramatic devices into your public gestures and actions – your power will be enhanced and your character will seem larger than life.







use people's need to believe

People have an overwhelming desire to believe in something.

Become a focal point of such desire by offering a cause, a new faith.

Carefully plan your course of action using rationality and clear thinking.

Never back down and have your talking points set in stone.

Anyone who can not think rationally and logically is a threat to you - excommunicate them from your life.





act boldly

Accept no doubt when embarking on a course of action

- doubts and hesitations will negatively effect your execution.


Timidity is dangerous.


Mistakes committed through audacity

are easily corrected with more audacity.


Everyone admires and fears the bold;

no one fears the timid.






plan carefully

When embarking upon a course of action
take into account possible consequences and
obstacles that might reverse your hard work.

Gently guide fortune and determine the future by thinking far ahead.






make accomplishments seem effortless

Your actions must seem natural and executed with ease.

All the toil and practice that go into them,

and also all the clever tricks, must be concealed.

When you act, act effortlessly,
as if you could do much more.

Avoid the temptation of revealing how hard you work
– opponents envy will increase.






control options by offering only dilemma

The best deceptions are the ones
that seem to give an opponent a choice.

Give opponents options that come out
in your favor whichever one they choose.

Force opponents to make choices between the lesser of two evils,
both of which serve your purpose.

Put them on the horns of a dilemma:
Opponents are gored wherever they turn.






play to fantasy

The truth is often avoided because it is ugly and unpleasant.

Never appeal to truth and reality unless you are prepared
for the anger that comes from disenchantment.

Life is so harsh and distressing that
people who can manufacture romance or
conjure up fantasy are like oases in the desert:

Everyone flocks to them.

There is great power in tapping into the fantasies of the masses.





learn to push buttons


Everyone has a weakness,

a gap in the castle wall.


That weakness is usually a sore spot -

an insecurity, an uncontrollable emotion or desire;
it can also be a small corrupt secret pleasure.


Learn to poke the sore spot -

push buttons or yank their chain.




act confidently

The way you carry yourself will often determine how you are treated; appearing vulgar or common will make people disrespect you.

Act regally, confident of your powers.





time your acts

Never seem to be in a hurry –
hurrying betrays a lack of control over yourself,
over time and a failure to properly plan
.

Always seem patient,
as if everything came naturally.

Become a detective of the right moment;
sniff out the spirit of the times,
the trends that will carry you to power.

Learn to stand back when the time is not yet ripe,
and to strike fiercely when it has reached fruition.






ignore minor setbacks

By acknowledging a petty problem you give it existence and credibility,
a small mistake is often made worse and more visible when you try to fix it.

It is sometimes best to leave things alone.




use symbolism

Striking imagery and grand symbolic gestures

create the aura of greatness – opponents responds to them.


Stage performances for those around you using

arresting visuals and radiant symbols that heighten your presence.


Dazzled by appearances,

opponents will not notice what you are really doing.





stay calm and objective


Display of emotion is strategically counterproductive.


You must always stay calm and objective.


If you can make your opponents

angry
while staying calm yourself,

you gain a decided advantage.


Put your opponents off balance:

find a chink in their vanity through which

you can rattle them and you hold the strings.




kill the Shepherd


Trouble can often be traced to a single individual
the Stirrer, the Arrogant Underling,

the Poisoner of Goodwill.


If you allow such opponents room to operate,

others will succumb to their influence.


Do not wait for the Troubles they cause to multiply,

do not try to negotiate with themthey are irredeemable.





seduce hearts and minds


Coercion does not work over time.

You must seduce others into wanting to move in your direction.


Soften up the résistance by working on their emotions,
playing on what they hold_dear and what they fear.




mirror efect

infuriate with the mirror effect

The mirror reflects reverse reality,
the perfect tool for deception.

When you mirror an opponents actions
they cannot figure out your strategy.

The mirror effect mocks and humiliates them,
making them overreact and blow their wad.

By holding up a mirror to their psyche,
you seduce them with the illusion you share values;
by holding up a mirror to their actions,
you teach them a lesson in humility.





savor victory soberly

savor victory soberly

The moment of victory is often the moment of greatest peril.

In the heat of victory,
arrogance and overconfidence
can push you past the goal you had aimed for,
and by going too far, you make more opponents than you defeat.

Do not allow success to go to your head.

There is no substitute for strategy and careful planning.






assume formlessness

By taking a shape,
by having a visible plan,
you open yourself to attack.

Instead of taking a form for your opponents to grasp,
keep yourself adaptable, everchanging and on the move.

Nothing is guarenteed, no outcome is fixed.

The best way to protect yourself is to be as fluid and formless as water;
never bet on stability or lasting order as everything changes.

The author feels that the faλsification of reaλity outside personal experience has forged a populace unable to discern pr☠paganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reaλity on the human race. Religi☯us int☯lerance ☯ccurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religi☸us beliefs or persons due to their religi⚛us ide⚛l⚛gy. This web site marks the founding of a system of philºsºphy nªmed The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie - a ra☨ional gnos☨ic mys☨ery re☦igion based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a pers∞nal relati∞n with Æ∞n through the pursuit of the knowλedge of reaλity in the hope of curing the spiritual c✡rrupti✡n that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on this web site by the author.

Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation with bi☣hazards of a gun.

American social mores and values have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the p☠pulace in general through mass media by pressing emotional buttons which have been πreπrogrammed into the πoπulation through prior mass media psych☣l☣gical ☣perati☣ns. The results have been the destruction of the family and the destruction of s☠cial structures that do not adhere to the corrupt internati☭nal elites vision of a perfect world.
