We’re going dark… but in a totally self-aware, psychologically fascinating kind of way.

This week on The Elephant in the Org, we’re diving into the Dark Triad — narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism — and how these personality traits show up in leadership. Our guest, the brilliant Danny Wareham (organisational psychologist, coach, and self-proclaimed bee-lover), joins us to unpack why some of these traits might actually be… useful? In the right context, of course.

We ask the real questions:

• Is your CEO just confident… or kinda terrifying?
• Are we accidentally rewarding toxic leadership?
• Can a bit of narcissism actually drive performance?
• What does culture have to do with personality?
• And why does it always come back to self-awareness?

Expect a little sass, a lot of insight, and the usual banter from your favourite trio. Because sometimes, the elephant in the org is charming, powerful… and just a touch self-obsessed.

And if you’re a middle manager trying to survive all of this? This one’s definitely for you.
