Cine ar fi fost primul „psihopat corporatist” documentat istoric: În 1629, acest lider a ucis 100 de naufragiați pe o insulă pustie, pentru a economisi hrana și apa
A recent study identifies Jeronimus Cornelisz as the first documented corporate psychopath, linking his traits to modern toxic corporate leaders. The research highlights his manipulative behaviors and the violent outcomes of his leadership during the Batavia shipwreck in 1629. In contrast, another leader, Wiebbe Hayes, fostered cooperation and resource discovery, showcasing different leadership outcomes. The study emphasizes the ongoing challenges posed by corporate psychopaths in today's organizations, urging employers to prioritize character and ethics in leadership selection.
