In this fascinating realm of charismatic evil-doers, the intricate dances they perform with the hopes and dreams of the unsuspecting masses. It is indeed a curious phenomenon to witness the potential of great skill sets being misused or underutilized for the betterment of society. Makes you wonder about their inner motivations, what lights them up in the first place, and keeps them going through the storms they rile up with their actions.
This article explores the intricate nature of motivation, acknowledging that it can have both positive and negative aspects.

In this post of trapping productively, I wish to speak on the Dark Triad personality traits, encompassing Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy, which often carry negative connotations. However, high-level empaths who score high on the Machiavellian scale while scoring low on narcissism and psychopathy possess a unique balance. They possess the ability to navigate complex social dynamics without being deceived, all while resisting the temptation to exploit their cognitive empathy for personal gain.
I find myself in situations where I question my motivations for the conversations I’m having with certain people. Being in the privileged position of a consultant, confidant, or cousin, who is approached for their 2 cents on other people’s matters and issues. It’s a headrush feeling when I realize that my words hold power over my audience, clients, and friends. I wonder how Hitler, Stalin, and Mugabe slept at night, knowing his orders had changed lives decidedly for the worst.
If you haven't taken the Dark Triad personality test yet, I highly recommend it. This test allows individuals to explore their own personality traits and gain valuable insights into their unique motivations. Take the test here to uncover your own dark whys and understand how they influence your approach to responsibility and leadership.
Empathetic leadership is a potent elixir that blends emotional intelligence, compassion, and responsibility. Empathetic leaders who embrace their dark whys and channel them into responsible leadership hold the key to profound positive change. Their self-awareness, ability to navigate complex dynamics and genuine care for others ignite inspiration and motivation within their circles.
For high-level empaths, the Dark Triad traits serve as a driving force in their commitment to taking responsibility seriously. While their Machiavellian tendencies provide them with a keen awareness of power dynamics, their low narcissism and psychopathy levels prevent them from exploiting others. Instead, they utilize their cognitive empathy to foster genuine connections and nurture a responsible and empathetic leadership style.
