I wouldn't assume it has any connection to being effective. Oftentimes people have horrible flaws but are tolerated if they bring enough value to the organization to offset it. Not only that, the more they clue in that they are operating in a consequence-free environment, the more pronounced their flaws become. Not only are the disincentives for bad behavior removed, but it also may feed their ego: every time they get away with something others wouldn't, it is like the organization is confirming how exceptional they are in other ways.
