Psychopaths make up roughly 1% of the population. They thrive on chaos, and they know other people find it very stressful. Psychopathy is a spectrum, and we all fall on it somewhere. What separates us from the psychopath is the ability to feel empathy. A lot of our executives at the CEO level are more likely to be psychopaths.
If you read the headlines, you know our mental health is precious. But you also know it’s in jeopardy.
As business leaders, what can we do? Plenty.
Today on the podcast, we welcome Dr. Lee Norton, a clinical social worker and trauma expert. She helps us understand the role mental health plays at work. What is trauma and how does it show up in our employees? What do you do if you work for someone who lacks empathy? How can you protect your own mental health and look out for the people around you, too?
It’s a timely conversation with loads of insight for business leaders who want to create a safe and nurturing work environment.
