Greenwich did not do any “due diligence” which is the reason for getting sued because they did not check and that’s how Madoff was able to get away with the scheme. Greenwich should have seen that he was using his own money while he was pocketing the money from investors and they could have stopped him. 8.

This study examines the controversial tenure of former Hewlett-Packard (HP) CEO Carly Fiorina using the ethical leadership construct. Fiorina rose quickly through the ranks at AT&T and Lucent Technologies to become the most powerful businesswoman in the United States when she took the helm at HP in 1999. She prevailed in a bitter proxy fight over the firm's merger with Compaq Computer. However, she was abruptly fired in 2005. Both the CEO and members of the HP board failed as moral persons and as moral managers, leading to Fiorina's ouster and the subsequent HP spying scandal.
