Do they get a pass for hiring all these guys in the first place just because they sacked them after the damage was already done?
Which board members hired them?
I'll going to say Pratt was responsible for hiring Swann. Kernahan for hiring Malthouse. God knows for Rogers and Hughes but at least as far back as Kernahan. Besides the board hires CEOs, the CEOs hire the other staff.
The logic seems to be that we get a previously competent CEO and they don't have success at us so in hindsight the board is responsible for their failure. Did they hire people with a decent resume capable of doing the job? Yes.
If we hire Dew, Lloyd or Bolton and we are happy with the decision and process but they fail to do the job, do we then turn around and blame the board for hiring them?
If you don't do your job, do you say to your boss, 'it's your fault for hiring me'?
