Abstract: Abstract This chapter describes the worst bad leader, ones from the dark triad, with zero degrees of empathy. The dark triad consists of corporate psychopaths, malignant narcissists, and Machiavellians. These toxic dark side leaders cause considerable damage to their subordinates because they lack empathy with them. The chapter describes what empathy is along with the behavior and characteristics of these leaders and the outcomes for their subordinates and organizations.
