Most Successful Business Leaders?

Lessons from the Top: The 50 Most Successful Business Leaders in America by Thomas Neff and James Citrin

This book includes two convicted felons and one accused felon - Bernie Ebbers, Dennis Kozlowski and Ken Lay - as well as Hank Greenberg (who resigned from AIG in disgrace and may yet become the fourth felon in the book), Michael Eisner (who was recently ousted from Disney) and Mike Armstrong (who pretty much single-handedly managed the sinking of AT&T).

Now I know that hindsight is 20/20, but six stinkers (and some other questionable choices) in a list of 50?

A great read, highly recommended ... for the IRONY!
