* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: After Tylor [[spoilers:goes to work for him at Fear Co.]], Johnny decides to reveal that [[spoiler:he's been having Randall sabotage Monsters, Inc. so he can steal their laugh power and mix it in with his company's scream energy to "resolve" an energy crisis of his own making. Johnny arrogantly assumes that Tylor's just as morally bankrupt as him and is willing to go along with a scheme of such magnitude. Tylor predictably warns his former MIFT coworkers and puts a stop to the scheme.]]

* FatalFlaw:
** His close-mindedness. During college, he arrogantly assumes that Mike and the rest of Oozma Kappa are all nothing but a bunch of losers who don't even have a remote chance of being scary. Thanks to Mike's training, they actually manage to do decently well at the Scare Games and make it into the program afterwards, with Mike going on to [[spoiler:deliver a record breaking scare against Johnny--or so it seemed, as Sulley cheated to make it so Mike's scare would win no matter what.]] While he ultimately was proven right that Mike didn't have what it took to be a scarer, Mike still found his way onto the Scare Floor at Monsters, Inc. thanks to his and Sulley's teamwork, and the duo would go on to become the top team at the company.
** This becomes an even bigger flaw for him during ''Monsters at Work''. When Mike and Sulley successfully transition the company to laugh power, [[spoiler:Johnny is outright furious, and decides to find Randall, and works with him to sabotage M.I. from within. While Johnny puts up a false front where he seems willing to accept laugh power as a potential alternative, he's already made up his mind and deemed that scream and ''only'' scream power is the one true way of the monster world. Even then, he still has Randall steal laugh energy from M.I. and mixes it with his company's scream energy, disguising it as a Scream Enhancer to make it seem as if he's found a solution to the energy crisis. But rather than being hailed as a hero (or nearly turning the city into a crater, since neither energy can mix without becoming unstable), or even accepting that laughter is a more viable energy source, he's exposed as a fraud and hauled off to the slammer.]]

* MeanBoss: ''Monsters At Work'' shows that in contrast to Sulley, who's a BenevolentBoss as CEO of Monsters Inc, Fear Co. is an extremely oppressive and toxic work place that still uses the scare board to instigate competition among the scarers, they only get 15 minutes of lunch and their scare room is windowless in contrast to the well-lit Monsters Inc.

And any scarer that's late or fails to put up good numbers is terminated.
* MirrorCharacter: ''Monsters At Work'' places him as one to [[spoiler:Waternoose, as both were high-class CEO's who ran major energy companies, were the third member of their family line, and were using Randall to commit morally dubious deeds to protect scream power as a viable energy source. However, whereas Waternoose was a WellIntentionedExtremist who was willing to kidnap children and torture them because he was desperately trying to solve the energy crisis and protect his company, Johnny was willing to sabotage Monsters, Inc. and steal their laugh power to mix with his own scream power because Mike and Sulley's success bruised his ego. Moreover, while Waternoose did his best to keep Sulley out of it until he found out and was forced to banish him, Johnny brought Tylor into the fold of his scheme and got brought down as a result. For added irony, Johnny winds up becoming Waternoose's cellmate.]]
