How managers become greedy in position?

Managers may become greedy in their positions due to a combination of power, lack of accountability, and a culture that rewards self-interest over collaboration. When they prioritize personal gain—such as bonuses, promotions, or resources—over the well-being of their team or organization, it can lead to unethical decision-making. Additionally, if they operate in an environment where greed is normalized or unchecked, it can further exacerbate this behavior. Ultimately, this shift in focus can undermine team morale and long-term organizational success.
