Why Smart People Do Dumb Things: Lessons from the New Science of Behavioral Economics.
"Levinson observes that many large companies, though they now hire and promote female executives, retain a significantly male orientation and patriarchal culture. He says, 'The combination of collective, masculine, competitive striving, attachment to aggressive self-images and established corporate structures, and efforts to avoid failure and indictment reinforce organizational narcissism.'" (p. 99)
"Narcissism is a nasty word. We would all instinctively reject the notion that we are narcissists. But it comes with the territory. In a talk he gave to a group of executives the psychologist Aaron Stern said that 'success, by definition, breeds narcissism.' Moreover the society in which we flourish celebrates narcissism." (p. 252)

The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness.
"Those whose narcissism refers to their group rather than to themselves as individuals are as sensitive as the individual narcissist, and they react with rage to any wound, real or imaginary, inflicted upon their group. If anything, they react more intensely and certainly more consciously. An individual, unless he is mentally very sick, may have at least some doubts about his personal narcissistic image. The member of the group has none, since his narcissism is shared by the majority." (p. 231)
