\"\"<\/a>In our triumphant return from Spring Break, we were joined once again by Dr. Paul Babiak, Industrial and Organizational Psychologist and author of the book, Snakes in Suits: When Psychopaths Go to Work<\/em>, who discussed ways in which to deal with psychopathic individuals in the workplace.<\/p>\n

During “Aftermath Radio Q & A” we read a listener’s email and talked about the upcoming Fishead movie (about psychopathy) and iPhone app. We also checked in with survivor Dori from Florida, who talked about her experiences being in a relationship with a psychopathic individual, and discussed why people can be attracted those with psychopathic traits.<\/p>\n

Dr. Babiak stated that he is frequently asked the question, “How do I deal with a psychopath at work?” This could be a boss, a peer, or even someone you<\/em> are supervising. Based on his experience helping people deal with this situation, he has proposed\u00a0a series of “Do’s and Dont’s”:<\/p>\n

1. Don’t label someone a psychopath.<\/p>\n

2. Don’t confront someone you think is a psychopath.<\/p>\n

3. Always have witnesses, or never be alone with them.<\/p>\n

4. Document everything<\/em>.<\/p>\n

5. Repair your reputation and relationships with coworkers as soon as you think there is a problem.<\/p>\n

6. Learn all you can about company policies and their Code of Conduct.<\/p>\n

7. Seek advice and help from outsiders.<\/p>\n

8. Make a formal complaint, and don’t be labeled as a complainer.<\/p>\n

9. Always have an “escape plan.”<\/p>\n

10. Manage your reputation, and know thyself.<\/p>\n
