By Marlana Hufstetler<\/a><\/p>\n

While narcissistic leadership is a well-known problem in governments worldwide, it also plagues countless businesses, ranging from lower-level management such as department heads and assistant managers to high-level management such as CEOs and managing directors. In today\u2019s polarizing political climate, the line between business and government has been blurred, as business leaders\u2014either iconic or notorious, depending on your perspective\u2014hold power, and narcissistic leadership has increasingly become an unfortunate norm.<\/p>\n

Academy of Management Scholar Tim Pollock <\/a>of the University of Tennessee-Knoxville shared some insights into powerful alliances between business tycoons, using Elon Musk and President Donald Trump as a top-of-mind example.<\/p>\n

\u201cMusk is a classic narcissist,\u201d Pollock said. \u201cAnd basically everything Trump has done in the White House, especially in the second term\u2014when there are no guardrails anymore\u2014you can see the effects of malignant narcissism.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I\u2019m not talking about the policy stuff,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m talking about the unqualified but sycophantically loyal people he is putting into positions of power, the erratic, self-absorbed\u00a0 behaviors, the gyrations on decisions such as tariffs based on his whims and who he thinks\u00a0 has insulted him most recently, and blaming everybody other than himself for any mistakes\u00a0 or failures.\u201d<\/p>\n

With a strong partnership between two influential businesspeople who became celebrities and, more recently, political figures with apparent narcissistic tendencies, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), initially led by Musk, drives home the reality that the Trump administration is running the American government as if it were a business whose leader values blind loyalty above all else.<\/p>\n

Profiting off the presidency<\/strong><\/p>\n

Narcissists focus on how they can reap benefits for themselves regardless of how that affects others. In addition to get-rich-quick courses, mail-order steaks, gold sneakers, and a range of other Trump-branded paraphernalia, not to mention hosting official functions at his own hotels and golf courses, cryptocurrency in general\u2014and TrumpCoin in particular\u2014is a prime example of a calculated business plan recently backed by the political powers-that-be, with the president himself leading the way. There are various examples of products that he hawks, gets a quick profit from, and then walks away from if it fails.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the business side, Trump, his family members, administration insiders, and business associates have seen opportunities to make money via TrumpCoin and other cryptocurrencies too,\u201d Pollock said. \u201cThere\u2019s no problem that crypto, and especially TrumpCoin, is actually solving.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s mostly a grift\u2014something that\u2019s easy to promote and quickly make lots of lots of money off of,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s also definitely been more of a pay-to-play culture in the Trump administration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cultural shift\u2014for better or worse<\/strong><\/p>\n

The union between an unethical business culture and a political movement led by a narcissist with authoritarian tendencies could shape what is accepted in companies\u2019 cultures and politics alike. In that context, the public falling out between Trump and Musk in 2025 and rumored reconciliation at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service in Arizona are notable.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen your interests align with the narcissists\u2019 interests, it\u2019s great, but when they diverge, you run into problems,\u201d Pollock said. \u201cThink about the small town with the business guy who has his fingers in all the pies and dominates all the other businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt isn\u2019t just in the White House,\u201d he said. \u201cNarcissists are going to be more likely to do well in that type of ethics-free environment, because they\u2019re not bound by the same kind of moral *strictures.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
