FROM Miranda Priestley in The Devil Wears Prada to Jennifer Aniston's character Julia in Horrible Bosses, scary managers have been a staple in movies for decades. <\/p>\n

But many exist in the real world too – and they could be a lot worse. <\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

Scientists from Anglia Ruskin University say that some bosses are so manipulative that they should be classed as "corporate psychopaths".\u00a0<\/p>\n

This select group of people are driven by money, power and control – and are willing to do anything to get it, the experts explained.<\/p>\n

So, is your boss a corporate psychopath?<\/p>\n

There are an\u00a0estimated 300,000 to 400,000\u00a0of them living in Britain- so there's a chance one could be lurking in your office. <\/p>\n

However, until now, little research been done on psychopaths in work settings. <\/p>\n

According to lead researcher Dr Clive Boddy, many are likely to hold senior positions in business and finance, "largely because of their apparently social personality traits". <\/p>\n

"However, their ruthlessly self-serving behaviour has the potential to bring down entire sectors in extreme cases," he added. <\/p>\n

The experts are calling on the financial sector, which hold enormous responsibility,\u00a0to spot these individuals before they damage the economy and wider society.<\/p>\n

"Firms without corporate psychopaths in them are more likely to be viable, sustainable, and less likely to collapse," Dr Clive explained.<\/p>\n

To\u00a0understand whether corporate scandals and bankruptcies tend to feature corporate psychopaths, the team focused on US fraudster Bernie Madoff – the man behind the largest known Ponzi scheme in history.<\/p>\n

He admitted to\u00a0swindling thousands of clients out of billions of dollars in investments over decades.<\/p>\n

They examined Bernie's actions at work and in prison after his arrest it in 2008 against two established scales of psychopathy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

These included personality traits such as superficial charm and apparent intelligence; lack of sincerity or truthfulness; a tendency to cheat; a lack of remorse; being emotionally shallow; a lack of self insight; calmness; and apparent rationality.<\/p>\n

They found Bernie's actions reflected all of these traits. <\/p>\n

"People have often wondered whether Bernie Madoff was in fact a corporate psychopath, and he certainly scored highly on the two measures of psychopathy utilised within this study," the doctor said.<\/p>\n

"The findings suggest that Madoff's fraud was an outcome of his personality and that similar personalities such as Robert Maxwell and Ken Lay, have behaved in similar ways."<\/p>\n

The team hopes the findings will help businesses identify corporate psychopaths before they rise to the top.<\/p>\n

The 9 ways to spot a corporate psychopath – and how to handle one<\/h3>\n

Experts say the key personality traits to look out for are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Superficial charm<\/li>\n
  2. Intelligence<\/li>\n
  3. Lack of sincerity or truthfulness<\/li>\n
  4. A tendency to cheat<\/li>\n
  5. A lack of remorse<\/li>\n
  6. Being emotionally shallow<\/li>\n
  7. A lack of self insight<\/li>\n
  8. Calmness<\/li>\n
  9. Seeming rationality<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    There are steps you can take to protect yourself if you report to a psychopath.<\/p>\n

    If your boss yells at you, sit there and take it, Jack McCullough author of\u00a0The\u00a0Psychopathic\u00a0CEO, said. <\/p>\n

    "You just listen, you don\u2019t react, let him get it all out," he said.<\/p>\n

    "It is your reaction that keeps a psychopath fuelled. Know that it\u2019s not personal."<\/p>\n

    He also urged people to ensure they don't tie their identities\u00a0to their jobs, just in case they get fired. <\/p>\n

    "Just assume that every day is a learning opportunity," he told Psychology Today.<\/p>\n

    And while reporting to a psychopath, make sure you document everything that happens, with an assumption that lawyers will one day be reviewing your records, he added. <\/p>\n

    Jack also suggested people keep a set of documents on their computer at home. You may need these files if things get hostile, he explained. <\/p>\n

    You should assume that your boss will eliminate access to your business computer files, he added. <\/p>\n
