Great Management Skills
Was known for his great organization and ability to
execute/achieve results
Put competent people in charge of areas in which they
excelled, i.e. Mark Schwartz, CFO
Created a team that could turn a deal over in 24 hoursanalysis and all.
Was able to manage the political side of Tyco (with
shareholders and board of directors) as well as the operations
side of Tyco (where he had some of the best analysis teams)
**Overall: very organized, hard work, phenomenal manger**
Drive
Joined immediately Tyco, climbed the ranks, knew the CEO well
Eventually pushed the sitting CEO out, made a massive take
over
When board of directors didnt listen, he appealed to
shareholders, often flying around the country to meet with them
Bought companies when everyone else told him not to do so,
i.e. Kendall International, which became core of Tyco
Healthcare successfully made it work
Sought to be the best business executive, a mix between
Warren Buffet and Jack Welch
**Overall: Amazing drive, unparalleled in Tyco, as he soared
through the ranks**
Ability to Deceive
Lied about his fathers occupation- said he was a police officer
Lied about having an MBA
Had an affair with a married woman
Great listener, was not perceived as smart/deceptive, so many
people felt comfortable following him
Was known around the office to say things that people later
found out were completely wrong.
Would meet with shareholders and get their blessing if the board
of directors didnt like what Koz was doing
**Overall: Shrewdly seductive. Exceptional at deceiving.**
