7. 鮑伯?伊頓

克萊斯勒汽車(chē)公司CEO

1993－1998年

戴姆勒克萊斯勒聯(lián)合董事長(zhǎng)

1998－2000年

??? 伊頓任期的前半段，輕型貨車(chē)的繁榮為克萊斯勒的小卡車(chē)、吉普車(chē)和小型貨車(chē)創(chuàng)造了賣(mài)方市場(chǎng)，伊頓也由此一夜成名。但是，在戴姆勒－克萊斯勒合并案中，他以策略制勝，使克萊斯勒在所謂的“平等合并”中蒙受了損失。到他提前退休、回到佛羅里達(dá)州時(shí)，他留下的已經(jīng)是一家破敗不堪的公司，而他個(gè)人股票和期權(quán)的價(jià)值卻高達(dá)數(shù)千萬(wàn)美元。7年后，克萊斯勒公司被宣布一錢(qián)不值。

7. Bob Eaton

CEO, Chrysler

1993-1998

Co-chairman DaimlerChrysler

1998-2000

??? Eaton became a hero during the first half of his tenure as a boom in light trucks produced a seller's market for Chrysler's pickups, Jeeps, and minivans. But he got outmaneuvered during the Daimler-Chrysler combination, leaving Chrysler shortchanged in what was famously called "a merger of equals." Eaton left behind a damaged company when he prematurely retired to Florida with a personal treasure in stock and options worth tens of millions. Chrysler would be judged worthless seven years later.
