Shaming doesn't seem like it would work well when people believe they are right. However CEOs sweeping problems under the rug is more or less expected (good ones solve them, bad ones make temporary problems permanent trying to solve them and don't fix solvable ones). Things "going wrong" makes them look bad so that is more or less what the selectors want - wisely or otherwise.
