A Sydney psychologist and criminal profiler is running seminars on spotting workplace psychopaths. According to John Clarke, signs of psychopathic behaviour include "a narcissistic personality, a grandiose sense of self, liars, cheaters, smooth talkers, bored workers, changing jobs quickly and believing they should be higher up in the company", and employers should identify and monitor suspicious employees.

"These people have the same psychological make-up as killers such as Martin Bryant and Ted Bundy. Their only difference is that they have the ability to hide their psychopathic tendencies behind the front of a respectable, white-collar job."
