Being Self-Centered is Bad ?

I read this book 'Snakes in Suits' which mentioned the traits of people who are psychopaths and are not suitable for the organisation. The authors say that the psychopaths are selfish and don't have a moral conscience if somebody's loss is going to help them.
It provoked me to think what is bad in making things work for you even if it goes against you ?
The organisations which really hire people like the authors to check out the psychological state of a candidate sometimes don't have a moral conscience for themselves. I wonder how many big organisations are there in the world who are following the best moral practises and never made any mistake.
One more thing was who gave authority to these authors that they can decide about others? I don't think that education only can grant it.
When you question others morality than they may give a counter argument who are we to ask such questions and who are these guys who think that they are always right or they never fell for anything ?
But these questions can never be answered rationally, no matter who is trying to.
From our point of view all of us are right and we don't care about what others think about us.
So this is going to stay like that but the most important thing is that its good to have a sense of moral responsibility for everything we're attached with (directly or indirectly). It may not sound practical but it will definitely help us to take decisions in real life.
