12th Week--Commonalities between Glen Ross/Enron

I have noticed that there are several common factors between Glen Ross & Enron like:
-Obsession with making money and profit (short-term thinking)
-No Humaneness present
-Competition within the office
-Deceit
-Lies
-Stoop low to get what they want
-Greed

The 5 Principles so important in a company were not present in both companies:
-Truth--Both companies lied to everybody including co-workers to get what they wanted.
-Freedom-With this comes responsibility and nobody will take responsibility for the downfall of both companies even after they both fell to pieces.
-Humaneness--There was absolutely zero consideration for anybody else except the individual himself.
-Stewardship--There was no leadership because if there was then that person should have noticed the downward spiral that was about to occur and try to prevent it from happening. There was a definite lack of stewardship which aided in the disastrous results.
-Justice--I think the only time justice was served was at the very end after the companies went out of business but by then, it was too late.
