Narcissists Tend to Become Leaders

Narcissists like to be in charge, so it stands to reason that a new study shows individuals who are overconfident about their abilities are most likely to step in as leaders, be they politicians or power brokers.....

[sarcasm ON] Gee, ya think...? :roll:

more from the article:
"Narcissists have an inflated view of their talents and abilities and are all about themselves. They don't care as much about others."
She(researcher Amy Brunell) added, "It's not surprising that narcissists become leaders. They like power, they are egotistical, and they are usually charming and extraverted. But the problem is, they don't necessarily make better leaders."
Now, who do we know like that...?
"Life is a bitch. Shit happens. Adapt, improvise, and overcome. Acknowledge it, and move on."
