they think it's strength and leadership. "willingness to make the hard decisions" they say. its the same bullshit t.a gardner is on about it not being "always bad".
Not quite. The successful psychopath is someone who's driven to succeed. They're willing to step on other people to get ahead. These are the sort anyone else finds abrasive and even intimating. Elon Musk is like that, for example.
I know a couple of people like this. One is the CEO of this company: https://www.hydronalix.com/ I've known the guy since high school. I wouldn't work for him on a bet. But he is definitely driven to succeed and makes bank doing it. He will trample you in the dust to get ahead. That's just how he is.
That doesn't make him evil or bad, just driven and having a different set of values than most other people. These are people that make things happen and move society as a whole forward.
