Snakes in Suits: When Psychopaths Go to Work (9780061147890): Paul Babiak, Robert D. Hare: Books. Psychopaths are described as incapable of empathy, guilt, or loyalty to anyone but themselves; still, spotting a psychopath isn't easy. Babiak, an industrial and organizational psychologist, and Hare (Without Conscience), creator of the standard tool for diagnosing psychopathology, present a study of the psychopath in the corporate landscape. A common description of psychopathology states that subjects know the words but not the music; Babiak and Hare state that a clever psychopath can present such a well-rounded picture of a perfect job candidate that even seasoned interviewers can be fooled. In between a disposable series of narrative acts that follow a psychopath's progress (Act I, Scene I - Grand Entrance; Act III, Scene II - An Honest Mistake? Act V, Scene I - Circle the wagons), thorough research and anecdotes from a number of sources-current literature, news media, and showbiz among them-to illuminate the power of the psychopath to manipulate those around him, as well as what strategies can be used to identify and disarm him. Clear and complete, this is a handy overview for managers and HR, with enough self-defense techniques to help coworkers from getting bit.Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
