The Dark Side of Entrepreneurship

New research has found a childhood pattern of antisocial tendencies among entrepreneurs. Researchers at the University of Stockholm and Friedrich Schiller University at Jena, Germany, found that as children, entrepreneurs had a higher tendency to break rules, including frequent disregard of parental orders, more frequent cheating at school and more use of drugs...
