About the Clinic
The Bad Boss Clinic is a behavioural science practice that combines AI and psychological profiling to unmask the "Dark Side" of leadership. Our research on Dark Triad traits—Narcissism, Machiavellianism, and Psychopathy—gives you the clinical vocabulary to identify exactly why a leader is toxic.
The clinic's pioneering work on anxiety contagion reveals how a leader's internal state "infects" their team. Your stress might not be "your" stress—it could be a byproduct of your boss's psychological state.
Unlike traditional consultants, we use Machine Learning and Big Data to analyse leadership traits at scale, and we apply Attachment Theory to explain why certain employees clash with certain bosses.
The research behind the clinic is featured in Harvard Business Review, Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin and Personality and Individual Differences, where our lead scientist also serves as Associate Editor.
The clinic runs the Behavioral Analysis & Dynamics of Boss Outcomes & Staff Strategies (BADBOSS) Survey—a global research initiative with 2,969 documented cases across 40 countries sharing experiences with toxic bosses and which coping strategies actually work.

The Science
The clinic's method is built on more than 40 peer-reviewed studies of dark triad leadership, stress contagion and attachment at work — not opinion, and not generic management advice.
Published and featured in Harvard Business Review, Personality and Individual Differences and Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.
