🌀 Even bloody obvious ones, that are staring us in the face! 🌟 Those subtle ripples that hint at incoming chaos, but we dismiss them until it’s too late. This isn’t just a personal blind spot; it’s a systemic issue.

Imagine this: the frameworks we use for business and leadership today—our strategies, models, and systems—are not fixed truths. They’re just experiments.

In hierarchical systems, it’s often the case that the most destructive traits—the Dark Tetrad (narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and sadism)—rise to the top. This has led to a world where power and profit are prioritised over people and planet, resulting in widespread harm. This isn't new; it’s been unfolding for over 10,000 years since hierarchies began … Continue reading The Rise of the Dark Tetrad in Hierarchies: A Call to Action!
