Mismanagement and the Firing of a Bad CEO

Chapter 2 in Management Risk, 2004, pp 24-39 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract It is always tough to get a bad CEO out of the company’s system. The executive under fire will resist, and this will inevitably lead to in-fighting. When talking about how to get rid of a bad senior executive, Dr. Neil Jacoby, my Professor of Business Strategy at UCLA in the early 1950s, advised his students to give a bad CEO enough cord so he could hang himself. This, however, takes time.
