Leader's Brain Disease
(Path of my Life)
Political and business leaders have limited ability to see certain negatives.

You might remember a few years ago I blogged about a condition called "Leader's Brain Disease". At that time, a few psychologists did some MRIs of the brains of CEOs, and found that most of them lack a particular circuit in the decision making pathways of the brain - a final hurdle that demands to know "Is this a good idea overall?" before saying YES to any proposition.
In business, and politics, not having that hurdle allowa the afflicted to exude great confidence -voters love that.
Lacking that encumbrance allows a business leader to go ahead with plans that harms the environment or kills people.
And if they are wealthy, they will never have to say sorry [thjey never do].
TRUMP, of course, fits this bill except his other mental illnesses overshadow his Leader's Brain disease [with apologies to Trump fans - please don't kill me!!]
He has inspired more research to come out of the closet - QUOTE:
"A US study of corporate professionals found rates of full-blown psychopathy 15 times higher than in the general population"

A study of 206 corporate professionals from seven companies found rates of “possible or potential” psychopathy five times higher than in the general population, and full-blown psychopathy was 15 times as common. {Tyee article}

Subjects under the influence of power, he found in studies spanning two decades, acted as if they had suffered a traumatic brain injury—becoming more impulsive, less risk-aware, and, crucially, less adept at seeing things from other people’s point of view.
