Is the “office psychopath” a creature of “performance management” ?
“Periander, on being consulted by the tyrant Thrasybulus of Miletus as to the best device for maintaining himself in power, by way of reply led the messenger through a cornfield, and as he walked struck off the tallest and best-grown ears”.

Terrific insight. Thanks.
What is the question?
This answer was brilliantly executed. Did the messenger miss the point to relay the answer “treachery , and getting rid of possible rivals”?
Let me answer with another story.
*******************************************************************
The Wolves and the Sheep
Once upon a time, the wolves sent an embassy to the sheep, desiring that there might be peace between them for the time to come.
“Why, said they,”should we be forever waging this deadly strife?” Those wicked dogs are the cause of all; they are incessantly barking at us, and provoking us. Send them away, and there will be no longer any obstacle to our eternal friendship and peace”
The silly sheep listened, the dogs were dismissed, and the flock, thus deprived of their best protectors, became easy prey to their treacherous enemy.
