Abstract

The personnel is the most important segment of the business of each corporation. The higher is the position of an individual on the hierarchical level, the higher is its power. The consequences of its actions are more significant, and therefore the responsibility. In order to effectively and efficiently manage the system and achieve the goals set by the owners, and to withdraw sometimes unpopular moves that have negative consequences for employees, it helps managers to have characteristics of the Dark Triad. Machiavellism, narcissism, and psychoticism are positive and required traits in corporations in managerial structures while otherwise in social and interpersonal relationships outside the corporate environment, undesirable and harmful. The owner or employer will find and hire the market manager who, based on his references and results, proves that he has the necessary traits from the spectrum of the Dark Triad. When interviewing and testing for a high- ranking workplace, it is no longer necessary to try to hide the narcissistic, machiavellian, and psychopathic qualities. They are desirable. Each owner, each supervisory board, will gladly hire a manager, a member, or a CEO with such traits knowing that he will fulfill every requirement of the owner effectively without questioning or complaining. Machiavellism, narcissism, and psychoticism open the path to success, and those who do not have these qualities have no chance of competing with those who have these characteristics. Recent past, current times as well as prediction of future events will mark the increasingly competitive competition in the market, as well as the increasing demand towards employees, but also the management. It will all lead to the fact that holders of the Dark Triad traits will be increasingly at a price and increasingly sought-after
