1. How did his past shape his personality?Kozlowski's past did shape his personality. His father was awheeler-dealer type who was an effective persuader. This isdefinitely a trait he had. Just look at how quickly he rose to thetop of the Tyco Company. You don't get this far without the abilityto persuade. Also, when you take a look at his locus of control,he knew he was in control of his destiny. Go back to his past and

you'll see this. He had a strong personality, was popular and hepaid his way through school. His past definitely shaped hispersonality.

2. Does this case contradict the view that personality is largelygenetically derived? ExplainThis case does contradict the view that personality is largely

genetically derived. Mr. Kozlowksi, by all accounts, was anhonest, easy going and hardworking person. As he faced charges,the words "respected and feared" described Mr. Kozlowski. Hispersonality change was in response to the other personalitydeterminants -- environment and situation. To be successful,Kozlowski had to adapt to the corporate environment andsituations.

3. What does this case say about corporate ethics?This says people in corporate are under intense pressure tosucceed and ethics are sometimes thrown out the window.Corporations would be wise to provide ethics training to helpshape the behaviors of its employees. Employees might not fullyunderstand whats ethical or unethical; thus making decisionsthat may be against the will of the company and damaging.

4. In the Movie, "Wall Street," the Michael Douglas charactersays, "Greed is good." Is this true? How does this apply toKozlowski?Kozlowski's greed is what propelled the enormous growth of Tyco.The deals and decisions he made were motivated by his desire tobe the best. The situation was a win for the company and

Kozlowski. To a certain extent, I agree with the "Greed is good"quote. I don't advocate greed, but I agree that people needmotivators to achieve. Those leaders who are successful, believethat they control their destiny.


28/29

5. "Kozlowski just did what anybody would do if theyhad the chance. The people at fault in the story areTyco's Board of Directors for not controlling their CEO."Do you agree or disagree? Discuss?

When it came to Kozlowski, the board was operating under

a halo effect. A halo effect is when we draw a generalimpression about an individual on the basis of a singlecharacteristic. The characteristic that stood out Kozlowskiwas his charisma. He was perceived as one with thecompany. It was this perception of Kozlowski that earnedhim free rein at the company. Free rein or not, it was the

boards responsibility to have checks and balances in placeto protect the company. They were asking for it.

If you are leading others , I suggest you research the topicof corporate scandal and the motivation behind it.
