Our company had two projects with Enron subsidiaries and it was interesting to watch the rapid ascent and subsequent collapse. It's always fascinating to see how a corporate culture adopts the attitude and personality of the leadership team. Enron was a very arrogant company even before they became famous for it. Drinking your own "Kool Aid" can be toxic. They were Houston's darling and even put their name on our new baseball stadium. All appeared to be well until their ultimate collapse.
Many other ice sculptures eventually melted too...Tyco, Worldcom. Why does collapse always seem to surprise us?
