Do you believe that a person has to be a sociopath to be the CEO of a large company?

Defination of a sociopath form the dictionary: a person, as a psychopathic personality, whose behavior is antisocial and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience.

I submit in order to be able to lay off thousands of people and to create an environment dedicated only to efficiency with little regard for you employees and still sleep at night, you must be a sociopath.

I see the most successful and highest paid CEO’s in this category and one of the reasons many of them support charitable cause is an attempt to ameliorate some of this guilt.
