Should we all be a bit psychopathic at work?

Most of us will probably think of psychopaths as dangerous knife-wielding maniacs who are better off behind bars.

But we've got it wrong, and contrary to our expectations, we could actually learn from psychopaths, argues Oxford University experimental psychologist Kevin Dutton.

"It's true, when psychologists like myself use the word psychopath, images of killers like Ted Bundy go flashing across most people's minds," he says.

He argues that we could all benefit from sometimes being more ruthless, fearless, self-confident, focused, mentally tough, charming or charismatic - all of which are traits of a psychopath.

  • You've just described my brother in law whose made and lost (and is probably making again)more millions than I can only dream about!

  • I was thinking someone even more closer to home..

    :)

  • i think i have turned into one,

    on site in the middle of a job i periodically swear, shout , crack on, storm , run odd times to get kit,
    growl, attack the garden. (with control of course)
    ,only just noticed it recently , but i get job done well, in time and packed up etc...

    i blame the clients lol, (or agri jobs !)

    Im sure i had a new client i'd been to 2/3 times hear me ranting to myself on a mission, (her husband was a seargant now park ranger in london), she asked after paying me quisitively : ''will you be coming again'' :) i replied 'Yes' in a happy positive response. (i was just getting frustrations out with the job rather that them holding me back, muttering to myself etc, nothing personal i have good customers ) lol

    do you drive a mitsubishi warrior ? imsure the Army guy did his fair bit of aggressiveness and swearing in his job).

    ps I'd never swear in front of a client.. :) crack on and get stuck in while its dry & save for winter. no good being willy nilly, soft and slow or bottling things up !
