Last decade? In tech? That's more of a head scratcher... Scully and then Amelio @ Apple? Fiorina @ HP, certainly after Eckhard Pfeiffer screwed the pooch at Compaq. C. Edward Acker after Sewell screwed up at Pan Am. Kay Whitmore at Kodak. Edison was a horrible CEO; but of the many companies he founded, the only one that survives is the one that fired him early on. No one every hired him to be a turn-around person. Turn arounds are hard. The company falters. New person brought in. That person fumbles. Yet another new person. Company recovers. If the company doesn't recover - you probably haven't heard of them.
