The Collapse of Enron-Summary of Question #3

How might the culture of the company under the leadership of Lay and Skilling have contributed to Enron's ethical problems?

Everyone basically agreed with what Nerrisa and said that Lay and Skilling have no ethics at all, which make them horrible leaders. The first mistake was when Lay continued with partnerships even when he was told about all of the risks of having a partnership. Then, Jeff Skilling, his successor decided to move out 15 percent of the employees that were considered "underperformers" every six months. He lied on performance appraisals and made certain employees look better than they actually were.
Both Lay and Skilling only looked out for themselves and took no time to look at the harm they caused to others. This display of bad ethics and poor leadership eventually came crashing down with the fall of the Enron company.
