Corporate Governance
Good corporate governance - pointing out corporate directors who should and shouldn't be elected anywhere. This is my attempt to keep track of good people for board of directors and keep track of people who should be avoided.Wednesday, January 03, 2007
Home Depot finally fires Nardelli
Finally. Seven months after my first blog about this awful awful overpaid CEO, they finally get rid of this problem.
Okay, the news reports right now are sketchy, but, my readers know that half the board was going to turn over, and they probably were having problems finding people with Nardelli there. On top of that, without Langone on the board to overpay and protect Nardelli from having to perform, I'm sure Nardelli wanted to get out of there while the board would still overpay him to retire rather than take his chances with a potentially competent board who would wouldn't pay him more than the market cap of the company.
The board isn't changed since my last blog about this awful board, but they deserve one last mention so we know who to avoid in the future:
