caraig | A Poll-Type Question for the New Year

Some time ago, a study was made of the personalities of the leading executives of several major corporations. It was found that their personalities closely match those of sociopaths. Wether you believe in the scientific rigor of the study or not, it does raise some interesting questions. The main one I'd like to hear from folks is this:

Do you feel that sociopath-like behavior is necessarily a preferred attribute, or should be a tolerated attribute, or should be a thoroughly undesired attribute, in the persons of executives of corporations? Is that mindset or personality type desired in the person of a corporate executive, when the corporation in question is either "too big to fail" or whose actions can dramatically affect the economy of the nation and the globe?

EDIT: Let's see if this poll code works....
EDIT2: For the sake of this discussion, we will use the definition of sociopathy being a deprecated term for 'antisocial personality disorder,' which according to DSM-IV is diagnosed by "a pervasive pattern of disregard for, and violation of, the rights of others that begins in childhood or early adolescence and continues into adulthood." Possibly a little vague, but there are further definable symptoms (not repeated here for brevity and to avoid copyright issues. In particular, the Hare PCL-R Factor 1 schedule gives what most psychiatrists consider to be the symptoms of sociopathy.)
