What about Leo Apotheker (HP), Carol Bartz (Yahoo), and Jim Balsillie/Michael Lazaridis (RIM)? I would take Reed Hastings over all of them any day.

Don't forget Stephen Elop. Although the full extent of the damage will only become obvious on 2012, it's fairly certain he doomed Nokia.

Carol Bartz drama was hilarious, but I must agree that she really sucked! its sad because Yahoo devs are making cool things... is just that execs seems focused on building something "better" than AOL, and, as you know just by mentioning AOL things start smelling funny.

Reed Hastings' inclusion in the list is surprising, but the exclusion of Aptheker is shocking. That man didn't just destroy shareholder value, he jeopardized HP's consumer business. Other leaders who probably deserved a spot in the list are Ariana Huffington and Carol Bartz.

I wonder if I should stream Netflix on my Blackberry while taking Tylenol?
