The above article was published in the Sydney Morning Herald 14/9/2017. It reveals, et al, that psychopaths are as prevalent in the upper echelons of the corporate world as they are in jails. 21% of inmates in jail are psychopaths and the same number of executives of the corporate business are psychopaths. In the general community, 1% are psychopaths.
I speculate that CEO`s at the Rugby League club level would not be in the 21% group of psychopaths because it is the very top position in any corporation that psychopaths aim for. Once there, psychopaths set out to destroy that organisation.
There are more psychopaths among politicians than in the general community--this was not in the article but from psychology classes I attended some time ago.
The author of the article says that when recruitting staff, a bigger priority should be placed on assessing the personality of job candidates over their skills and qualifications.

Is this a warning for Bernie?
Longfin Eel: No worries there. I said in my speculation that club Ceo`s are unlikely to be pinged for that.
You obviously work for yourself.
