These are the people who have executive experience, who know what it takes to run a company (and, by extension, a governmental entity).

Excerpts from an article: NEWARK, Ohio, Oct. 9 (UPI) – If a group is without a leader, a narcissist – self-centered, exaggerated talents, lacking in empathy – will emerge to take charge, a U.S. researcher says.
Amy Brunell of Ohio State University at Newark said narcissists are more likely to become leaders, but once in power, they don’t perform better.
“Narcissists have an inflated view of their talents and abilities and are all about themselves,” Brunell said. “They don’t care as much about others.”
Does this sound like anyone we know?
