Psychopaths may not be as useful in leadership as you think — and women are often punished for dark traits while men are rewarded
Lindsay Dodgson, provided by Published 10:20 am CDT, Thursday, October 25, 2018 PikWizard Psychopathic traits include fearlessness, ruthlessness, charisma, low remorse, impulsiveness, and the ability to thrive in chaos.

One day in August, on Northern Community Radio, an FM station based in Grand Rapids, Chuck Marohn and Aaron Brown were discussing the lasting appeal of President Donald Trump, who carried a large swath of Minnesota’s Arrowhead region in the 2016 presidential election. Marohn, an engineer and city planner from Brainerd, and Brown, a college teacher and writer from rural Grand Rapids, were taking part in “Dig Deep,” a public affairs program that features the men engaging in lengthy discussions about politics and other topics related to the region. Marohn is billed as the conservative of the pair, Brown the liberal. Heidi Holton, the station’s news and public affairs director, moderates. Marohn kicked off the segment by pushing back against the notion that Trump is popular with working class voters because he appeals to their base instincts – their racism and xenophobia. That’s offensive, he said, the result of lazy thinking. More likely, Marohn … [Read more...] about Distinctive Grand Rapids-based Northern Community Radio explores the world through a local lens
