1. How did corporate culture, leadership, power, and motivation affect Thomas’ level of
managerial hubris?
Organizational culture, corporate leadership, power, and the leader’s motivation level are
among the factors that impact heavily on the managerial hubris of a manager. Farrow bank
provided a supportive environment for the thieving of these factors in a way that resulted in
an increase in behavior patterns that define the hubris syndrome. Farrow’s bank culture, for
instance, was informed by the need to provide lower earners with credit facilities as a way of
ending what Farrow referred to as chronic usury in the banking sector. The corporate culture
in this sense was developed in a resistant spirit; challenging the status quo, which fanned
Farrow’s defiant approach and a feeling of being above the law. The culture of his
organization played a key role in making him believe that he knew that he knew everything in
the banking sector and that no one could challenge him.
Given that he was the managing director of the entity, his position served to redefine his
approach and cemented the defiance he had. As a matter of fact, his power lacked effective
monitoring and therefore it accentuated his hubris contact. Motivation plays a key role in
sustaining behavior. The fact that Farrow’s bank was noted as a highly performing entity
motivated Farrow to carry on with his hubris behavior. He believed that the success of his
business had an intricate relation to the defiant and arrogant approach on issues. This provides
an explanation why he messed up statistical figures of the bank for his entity to appear
successful.
