Larry Ellison is also known for his over aggressiveness, which in the past nearly brought Oracle to bankruptcy
Has a bad habit of over spending ridiculous amounts of money for personal hobbies
Is known for being a ruthless in business and at one point hired private investigators to find dirt on Microsoft
Being over aggressive is not generally a good attribute however, if your business is on the verge of bankruptcy or struggling, you shouldn’t be too passive and sometimes you will need to be aggressive in business to get things done for example collecting payments
Struggling with budgets and overspending is nearly always bad however over spending on putting money back in your company for example bonuses to employees or improving customer service or advertising can many times generate a significant profit for a company
Being ruthless is also generally regarded as immoral but there are times in business when feelings have to be put on the side and one employee is bringing down the business and has to be fired even if you do have a relationship with them
