Over the years I’ve read articles suggesting that narcissism runs high among both academics and lawyers. The belief is that people with above average levels of narcissism tend to be drawn to the kind of careers that fulfill their need to be the center of attention, politics being another example. If you work in either field, it’s a safe bet you’re going to encounter the narcissistic personality type at least a few times during your career.
True narcissists are toxic. They tend to be very controlling, manipulative and vindictive bullies who retaliate against those they feel have slighted them or who threaten their grandiose self-image. Here are a few characteristics of a narcissistic boss :
Useful
- Talks to you a lot (about himself)
- Puts (some of) his trust in you
- Speaks neutral/positive about you
- Complains about others
- Tries to make you his ally/spy
- Always expects you to be available
- You get the nice tasks
- Demands attention
Useless
- Usually ignores you.
- Complains about you to others.
- Openly questions your position.
- Looks down on you.
- Tries to make you of any use.
- Criticises you whenever you make mistakes.

Harmless
- Does not give you much attention.
