I am not especially happy about the findings of this study, in part, because even if these findings do generalize to the real world, narcissists do so much damage that they still may not be worth the trouble.
What? Simply being a narcissist causes "much damage"? It sounds like this article is coming from the POV of a manager having trouble controlling employees with a not-low-enough self-worth.
The only troubling thing to me about the finding is this article summarizing it. A good manager gets the most out of his employees by putting them in roles that maximize their abilities and take into account their personal traits. A bad manager uses scientific studies and best practice to make decisions, such as begrudgingly justifying keeping certain people on the staff even though they are unmanageable.
