Do sociopaths have a better chance of becoming CEOs than those of us with a conscience?

Exposed to the business practices, psychological makeup, and sociopathic behavior of executives at or near the top of major corporations, government institutions, and organizations in general, is this a valid question? Wall Street and health insurance CEOs, casting the image of "family man," appear to have little else in common with the ordinary American/Canadian Joe Citizen. If you agree, is the behavior limited to industries or organizations (maybe lobbying groups) peddling influence, power and money (instead of durable-goods manufacturing, and other services truly valued by ordinary citizens)? Are we peering into the future of a world run by a sociopathic-driven agenda?
