On #organizations:
Here "Sociopaths" is a shorthand for the Protestant-Ethic will-to-power types who drive an organization to function despite itself.
"Among the Sociopaths, status is irrelevant. Table stakes and skill at using them is what matters. Sociopaths pay attention to what you have, and how well you bargain with it. Not who you are."

"You don’t get what you deserve; you get what you negotiate." 🧵
"What distinguishes #Powertalk is that with every word uttered, the power equation between the two speakers shifts just a little. Sometimes both gain slightly, at the expense of some poor schmuck. Sometimes one yields ground to the other. Powertalk in other words, is a consequential language."

"If you want to be a convincing advisor, psychological research tells us that your observations/facts and rational arguments may have relatively little effect. You need to make sure your relation with the person you need to convince is as good as possible and the message is heard as often as possible."
