hubris -

Read somewhere about Saddam Hussein and Mr Durai. When you think you have the absolute power (authority) to do as you deem fit and when you think that whatever you think, you can' be wrong.... and when you honestly do not feel that there is any need for accountability to anyone, even to the least member in your team ...... (maybe even your wife and children listen to you).

This arrogance may work its way into your character just like a little leak in a pipe in the wall, slowly seeping through the cracks and grooves. It feeds on your self-confidence, and ego. Ultimately, you may feel a growing resentment for people who dare to disagree with your views ... You lose patience. You lose your human touch.... and there can only be one way, and that is your way. I think this is Hubris.

Corporate Paganism / religion-

Where there is a deep faith placed in the system. "It's the way it is," so you speak. The system should be able to "take care" of itself. Those with a stronger sense of patriotism in the "cause" might possibly seek to condition the behaviour/beliefs of the others through "bureaucratic" measures (i.e. "dos and don'ts"). This corporate belief system may not be that bad depending on the character of those who propagate it.
