[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 1500156, member: 18708"] Here's a primer into UPS promotions and the "organizational sociopath". Abstract only, the full study is linked inside. Notice that UPS does not reject sociopaths within management ranks, but embraces them -Jim Casey's cultural strategy. This does not mesh well with the bolded, below. [i]Purpose – Organisations sometimes select and promote the wrong individuals for managerial positions. These individuals may be incompetent, they may be manipulators and bullies. They are not the best people for the job and yet not only are they selected for positions of authority and responsibility, they are sometimes promoted repeatedly until their kind populate the highest levels of the organisational hierarchy. The purpose of this paper is to address this phenomenon by attempting to explain why it occurs and why organisational members tolerate such destructive practices.[b] It concludes by proposing a cultural strategy to protect the organisation and its stakeholders from the ambitious machinations of the organisational sociopath.[/b][/i] [url]http://www.emeraldinsight.com/doi/abs/10.1108/17465680710825451[/url] [/QUOTE]
