The nation's worst CEOs
Execs grab headlines for soaring profits or sordid crimes, but rarely for wretched performance. Here are three who've run great companies into the ground.
In the late 1990s, investors deified corporate chief executives. In the first few years of the 2000s, CEOs were vilified. And now, it seems, they are pretty much ignored -- seldom appearing on financial television programs or news magazine covers anymore unless they’re in handcuffs. They are the forgotten souls of Wall Street’s remodeled machine.
