I think some of the blame here should also go to the fact that people appraising performance often have very little idea about the facts of someone's work, and are in fact simply praising personality. In a perfect world, a narcissist couldn't get very far on confidence alone.
- nine_zeros 5y agoThis is an important point. One of the biggest reasons for management hatred is that actual workers can see that narcissists get promoted while doers don't. Workers thus end up losing trust in upper/mid management. Don't do any work and instead waste their time aping the narcissist. The problem often is merely management. But the asymmetry of power prevents the bad apples in management from getting exposed and removed.
