A Bill Ford, Jr., from the Automotive Industry Under Ford's leadership, Ford Motor Co. lost its way in terms of correctly forecasting what kind of vehicles customers actually wanted, in addition to becoming horribly leveraged. As soon as gas prices began shooting up, Ford Motor started spiraling down. Long-time Boeing Co. executive Alan Mulally was brought in to replace Ford as the automaker's CEO just in the nick of time. B Bob Nardelli, former CEO of Home Depot Inc. Nardelli made global headlines by making tens of millions while leading Home Depot shares to the basement and apparently making all kinds of bad decisions that finally led to his ouster this year. On top of that, his severance package made a Brad Pitt paycheck seem like pennies, and Home Depot shareholders paid for it. C Terry Semel, former CEO of Yahoo! He was hailed as Yahoo! Inc.'s savior when he joined the company in 2001, appeared to ride the coattails of good decisions by his executive team but really didn't even know how to use the Internet, according to many sources. Semel let Yahoo! get completely trounced by competitor Google Inc. and Yahoo! is still reeling from the hit. D Chuck Prince, former CEO of financial services giant Citigroup Inc. He was hand-picked by financial legend Sandy Weill. Prince made some interesting acquisitions and performed at decent levels in some quarters during his four-year reign at the top of Citigroup, but when he risked a bunch in backing mortgage debt that then cratered as the housing market failed this year, he was sacked out of the top position and became the fall guy, along with some of his staff who also left.
