Abstract

The paper examined the established view of leadership styles with the emerging profile of psychopathic leaders by looking for pieces of evidence in the tertiary institutions. A modicum review of the literature demonstrated the shape of psychopathic leadership traits for future research within the context of the study. The implications and accurate and deep understanding drawn from this limited literature revealed the plausibility of psychopathic leadership traits within the context of tertiary institutions.
