Hubris, or excessive pride in one's self, has been a concept that we have seen in company executives for many years. This self-confidence can be a positive thing for those in executive positions because you need confidence in order to do well in your career, however too much confidence can drive a person to commit career suicide.
An example of this is provided in the play Antigone when the new king, Creon, thinks that any law he makes in morally correct and that anyone who disobeys his law must be severally punished. After Creon banishes his niece to death, he finally discovers that he made a mistake. By the time that he came to fix his mistake, his niece had murdered herself and Creon had made a fool of himself.
In the article "On Wall Street, Pride Signals a Fall," we learn how hubris greatly effects the successful businessmen on Wall Street. It tells us how Aristotle proclaimed that tragedies "rely on the punishment of successful but flawed heros who reach godly heights." From their we learn that different ways to see the signs of hubris in a company such as the magazine cover indicator and the stadium indicator. There have been many business executives that have appeared on magazine customers and businesses who bought into stadiums who have then seen a great decrease in their companies within the next couple of years following. This is why it is important for us customers to remain loyal to companies who spend their money on humanitarian acts rather then spend their money on magazine covers and stadiums.
