I'd go as far to say it always is. Sociopathic tendencies are an advantage when it comes to decision making, pretty much always. Emotions like empathy cloud judgement. Obviously in the realm of people management, most of the world have emotions and an understanding of empathy (and others emotions) is valuable. A manager needent have empathy or much emotion but a good or great manager should understand them and integrate those into decision making. All of this makes me question why we as a society want to continue the systems we have in place which encourage these traits at every layer. The ability to understand and feign emotion but lack it is such an advantage that we're slowing creating all sorts of situations that encourage people to become this way.
