A lot of conventional management advice floating around smacks of celebrating these so called "psychopathic" tendencies. Ex. Never name a dog you are going to eat... However, I don't think that separating emotion from a situation and being able to evaluate a situation dispassionately/objectively qualifies as psychopathic. Our society is so fascinated with the aberrant behavior of "broken people" we are politicizing and softening the term to a place outside of its definition. Being unable to participate in the full range of human emotion is vastly different from acting dispassionate when convenient.
