"Research has found that leaders, particularly at high levels such as CEO, tend to score high on psychopathy, which manifests as a tendency to prioritize their own goals and outcomes without considering the impact on other people."
"Growing awareness about the cost of this type of leadership to retention and productivity has led organizations to restructure around a 'people first' approach, emphasizing the need for leaders to support their teams during times of stress."
"Decades of studies in psychology have shown that we respond differently to people who are part of our 'ingroup' versus the 'outgroup,' and this perception can be changed by simply placing people on teams together."
Leaders often prioritize outcomes, which can lead to psychopathic traits that disregard employee well-being. A shift towards a 'people first' approach emphasizes the importance of emotional intelligence in leadership. Effective leaders support their teams during stressful times, recognizing the value of emotional engagement. The perception of employees as 'ingroup' members can significantly alter a leader's response to stress and emotions, fostering a more supportive work environment.
