Imagine a leader: charismatic, confident, seemingly brilliant. They inspire you, motivate you, and propel you forward. But beneath the surface lurks a darkness, a manipulative streak that leaves a trail of devastation in its wake.

This isn't just a scene from a thriller; it's a chilling reality that many have faced in the workplace.

This reality is the focus of the latest episode of "When Leaders Talk." My interlocutor is Stefano Di Lollo, a seasoned leadership expert and coach with a wealth of experience navigating the intricacies of human behavior. We delve into the complex and often hidden world of the "dark triad" - narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy - a trio of personality traits associated with manipulative and even toxic leadership styles.

We try to answer a few questions:

Does the Dark Triad have any potential benefit?

Are they really the “bad guys”?

What happens to someone working in a company where this kind of leadership is ingrained in the culture?

What tools can a person use to mitigate the adverse effects of a leader with Dark Triad traits?

Can this type of leader see their impact on the people around them?

Prepare to be surprised, challenged, and inspired as we navigate the light and dark shades of leadership.

Tune in now and embark on a journey to discover how understanding and addressing the darker aspects of leadership can lead to more authentic, effective, and compassionate leadership practices.
