Managing people is no easy job. We acknowledge that.
Sometimes we end up working for managers that have harmful personalities falling into the so-called "dark tetrad", that include narcissism, machiavellianism, psychopathology and sadism.
In our conversation we focus on narcissism, acknowledging the rise of narcissistic tendencies in the workplace. We share thoughts on how they can affect you, as well as what measures you can take to best protect yourself.
