I think you might have it backwards. An empathy deficit (sociopathy) is highly correlated with the C-suite. It’s not that sociopathy makes a person a better leader. It doesn’t. It’s more that a person with dark triad traits isn’t going to care who they step on or what lines they cross to get there.
In other words, they were already screwed up.
Sociologists call it anomie.
