Snakes in Suits: When Psychopaths Go to Work by Paul Babiak
2.0
Disclaimer: I skimmed through this book for research.
I think this book would be best for managers in office settings, as that is indeed the author's market. The book looks at how psychopaths manipulate certain relationships, use coworkers, etc. at work.
Personally, I was looking more for psychopathic behavior in blue collar jobs, so this wasn't the right book for me. However, it was very interesting to read, and I think it would be an important book for HR reps and managers in order to spot psychopathic, opportunistic nature in prospective workers. I would say it would be good for CFOs, CEOs, COOs, etc... but the truth of it is that many already harbor some of these traits themselves. (Super awesome, right?)
