Every phase of this series deals with different leadership with dark triad personality.
In psychology, there is a concept of a “dark triad” of malevolent personality traits: psychopathy, narcissism and Machiavellianism. These traits are studied together because they almost always overlap and combine. If a person has psychopathic traits, then they tend to have narcissistic and Machiavellian traits too.
People with these personalities can’t sense other people’s feelings or see the world from any perspective apart from their own. They don’t have a sense of conscience or guilt to stop them behaving immorally. They feel superior and enjoy manipulating and controlling other people. At the same time, they need to feel respected and admired and like to be the centre of attention.
The series explores survival and self defense and the perils when wisdom is not used in either. The question is always asked how much freedom are you willing to lose in order to stay alive or to risk another war that could destroy many more lives, homes, and everything painstakingly built.
