Is your boss crazy? Probably not, but if you seriously think that he might be crazy, he is very likely a psychopath. Psychopathy and psychosis are often confused with one another but are radically different. Psychotics are irrational, with a thinking disorder. Psychopaths are quite rational but have a personality disorder, able to make themselves appear quite attractive when they want something, such as getting out of jail or being promoted to the head of a large corporation. At other times, psychopaths may want to intimidate or control someone, and then they make themselves appear enraged or irrational, so that a person who does not understand the game may well believe the psychopath is crazy. (This is the voice of experience talking.) Psychopaths do not allow upper management to see them when they are acting crazy, so upper management is clueless about why there are so many problems in the psychopath's organization. "Crazy" is a popular term and we will not be using it again herein.

I worked with a woman like this once. No matter what we did, everyone ended up miserable. Sad situation.
