BP's CEO Tony Hayward can't cut a break. He does something to “get his life back,” but that something happens to be yacht racing. And who should be there, but the media.
Here is another CEO who doesn't appear to have a clue. How did he get to be CEO in the first place? No one is saying he needs to sacrifice his life to this disastrous oil spill, but he could lay low, at least until the leak stops!
It looks like none of this will be a problem for long, however. BP wants him, and the poor public persona problem to “go away,” but it can't even get that right. BP's chairman announced Tony is exiting his oil spill command to be replaced by Bob Dudley. Other company officials, however, have indicated Mr. Hayward may remain at his post until August, after the spill is stopped.
