Society tends to think narcissists are good leaders

Every time someone makes a 'society thinks' post, I mentally replace those words with 'you think'. And then I make mental self-corrections.

I didn't find much to correct for, though. You can't look for the opposite of narcissism to recognize leaders. And the startup community does a good job of encouraging alternative measures of skill.

You say that like you don't have an ancestor room in your house :)

I also refute any study involving only 150 people to describe human nature.
