Percentage of sociopaths in leadership positions? High!
You guys asking and those responding are all idiots. 😀
More seriously, more than mental illness (in the true sense of the word) I do see a lot of substance abuse. Anything from Prescription to illegal drugs and alcoholism.
It’s there and at times we should acknowledge it
I wouldn’t put making partner/MD nearly on the same level of accomplishment as F500 CEO or highly successful entrepreneur .
Your buddy sounds like a smart guy
I think the kind of sheer focus and cutthroat nature of success at these levels almost requires a certain type of pathological tendencies. I recall that a study was done on entrepreneurs and CEOs that came to a similar conclusion.
I’m a sociopath but my side hustle is psychopath
Obviously there will be less mentally ill folks that make partner/MD...
P3 must also be an idiot.
Cite your source on substance abuse. Or is it just your assumption?
64.27% has been my experience
Interesting topic... I know of quite a few partners and MDs who partake... I disagree that partners can be compared to F500 CEOs... you have to be way more political and narcissist to be a F500 CEO... compare the ratio of partners in professional services vs CEOs
Most of the executive leaders are psychopaths. There is a direct correlation and not an inverse correlation.
😳🤨
Inverse correlation between being mentally ill and making to the partnership/MD?
How are you defining mental illness?
It’s a lot smaller percentage than overall population based on my anecdotal experience.
Agree. The average Partner is more like a vp or maybe senior vp.
Define mentally ill as people who take anti-depressant or any other psychiatric medication in managing their symptoms. My buddy also believes medication “destroys” your brain, which make it even harder to make to the partnership level.

D1 have seen quite a few. Most, when identified, are kept super low profile and provided support. Trust me we have more issues with substance abuse than mental illness
How does one keep up with the demands of the job if suffering from substance abuse?
Also, OP, why does your friend think prescription antidepressants and the like destroy your brain? If taken at a therapeutic dose, I think any damage would be both minimal and reservable.
