He exlpoited Pokemon and people to lead a hedonistic life style. Literally what any other SANE person with power would do.
His roots went in so deep that he literally had influence over two regions, if not more and has clearly had an impact on other crime syndicates according to Team Snagem in Pokemon Colosseum.
Team Aqua and Magma were kind of stupid in their goals. They were attempting to over-saturate the environment with either water or landmass. There wasn't even a secret agenda behind it either.
Team Galactic was mislead by Cyrus, who just wanted to create a world for himself, implying also destroying the one they were in if needed. He was insane.
Team Plasma was also misguided by Ghestis who used N, Ghestis wanted world domination and to rule with an ironfist. But there is no further explanation as to his reasons or why he wanted world domination besides maybe power.
Team Flare wasn't mislead by Lysandre, Lysandre was just sick and tired of people and their shit and wanted to genocide as many as possible.
