Hughes' empire faced internal conflicts from "summary" of Empire: the Life, Legend, and Madness of Howard Hughes by Donald L. Bartlett
Howard Hughes' vast empire was not immune to the turmoil and discord that plagued his personal life. Despite his immense wealth and power, internal conflicts within his organization threatened to undermine his success. The intricate web of Hughes' business ventures was often marred by power struggles, infighting, and dissent among his top executives. One of the key sources of internal conflict within Hughes' empire was his own unpredictable behavior and decision-making. Hughes' mercurial nature and tendency to micromanage every aspect of his businesses caused frustration and confusion among his subordinates. His constant meddling in day-to-day operations created a culture of uncertainty and instability within the organization. Furthermore, Hughes' penchant for secrecy and isolation only served to exacerbate the internal conflicts within his empire. His reluctance to communicate openly with his employees and business partners fostered a culture of mistrust and suspicion. This lack of transparency led to rumors, speculation, and backbiting among those in Hughes' inner circle. The power struggles that ensued within Hughes' empire were also fueled by the competing interests of his top executives. As ambitious and strong-willed individuals vied for Hughes' favor and control over various aspects of his business empire, tensions ran high and alliances shifted constantly. This cutthroat environment created a breeding ground for backstabbing, sabotage, and betrayal.- The internal conflicts that raged within his organization ultimately took a toll on his business ventures. The constant infighting and power struggles hindered productivity, eroded morale, and sapped the vitality of Hughes' once-thriving empire. In the end, the internal conflicts that plagued Hughes' organization proved to be a formidable obstacle to his success.
