Yahoo Ousts Bartz as CEO

Posted by Al Bolea in Leadership.

Seminar attendees  will recall the discussion about “Intrumentalism” and the “demon of misguided change.” One of the case studies we reviewed was Yahoo and the seemingly endless succession of CEO’s departures, downsizings, reorganizations, and strategic shifts. The Yahoo board of directors removal of CEO Carol Bartz today is a surprise to me. This is a good example of a company that’s a victim of its own version of intrumentalism. I will be surprised if it survives as an independent company.
