Nor does Booz find much evidence that bosses who perform poorly face greater risk of dismissal. Across the entire sample, chief executives faced a 2.1% chance of being dismissed in any given year. For a chief executive of a firm in the lowest decile of performance (that had lost 25% of its market cap over the previous two years, and underperformed their local industry peers by over 45%) the chances of dismissal increased, but only to 5.7%, or a 94.3% rate of survival. Of course, many chief executives are “encouraged to resign” rather than formally dismissed, so this may understate the real odds of losing the top job.
perform: v. 执行,表演,做
dismissal: 、n. 免职,解雇
Booz concludes that however preoccupied with short-term stock movements boards may be, they are plenty patient with their chief executives. “Most management studies show that CEOs need three to five years to develop their strategies and see them through to the results,” Booz explains. “Our data shows that, on average, CEOs are getting that much time, and more. This holds true even for those CEOs who are forced from office.”
preoccupied: a. 心事重重的,出神的
short-term: a. 短期的
Mr Sullivan, who was appointed chief executive of AIG in March 2005, just made it past three years, so can arguably feel aggrieved that he was the victim of a rush to judgment. On the other hand, he was lucky to get the job in the first place: Hank Greenberg, AIG's former boss, as well as his chosen successor (one of his sons), fell afoul of regulatory interventions, and New York's then-attorney-general, Eliot Spitzer, insisted they be replaced.
Mr Sullivan become the third “Spitzer boss” to fall, joining two lawyers, Mr Prince and Mr Cherkasky, both of whom were considerably less adroit at running companies than they were at cosying up to Mr Spitzer. If nothing else, this suggests that letting prosecutors shape the chief-executive succession process is a bad idea—not that this is especially surprising.
adroit: a. 熟练的,灵巧的
cozy: a. 舒适的，现在分词:cozying/cosying
prosecutor:n. 实行者,追诉者,告发者
Whether bosses appointed in a hurry by Wall Street giants with damaged reputations will fare any better remains to be seen. Citigroup had a tough time finding a candidate qualified to succeed Mr Prince, and the jury remains out on whether the board's choice, Vikram Pandit, will make the grade.
