PSYD Narcissists are prone to a classic bias in thinking.
Narcissists refuse to believe they have made any mistakes, new research finds.
A narcissist responds to a mistake by saying “No one could have seen this coming!”
Unfortunately, narcissists have a habit of rising through the ranks in organisations.
They get promoted because they are experts at deflecting blame when things go wrong and taking all the credit for successes.
The danger narcissists pose for organisations, though, is that they make poor decisions.
The reason is they fail to learn from their mistakes.
While many people protect their ego from their own mistakes, narcissists take this to the extreme.

Delroy Paulhus and Kevin Williams in 2002, the dark triad of personality consists of narcissism (entitled self-importance), Machiavellianism (strategic exploitation and deceit) and psychopathy (callousness and cynicism).
/////////////////////While these three traits had traditionally been studied mostly among clinical populations (e.g., criminals), Paulhus and Williams showed that each of these traits are clearly on a continuum—we are all at least a little bit narcissistic, Machiavellian and psychopathic.
////////////////////LIGHT TRIAD
Kantianism (treating people as ends unto themselves, not mere means), Humanism (valuing the dignity and worth of each individual) and Faith in Humanity (believing in the fundamental goodness of humans):
