Who was the worst CEO/executive in business history? Not counting outright criminals like SBF.

In what time frame? In certain ways Jack Welch is an excellent CEO and in others he is one of the worst.

There have been a lot of dumb guys. First to come to mind is Apple's first CEO, Michael Scott. He was basically just some guy who worked in a chip factory so they made him the CEO for that tiny bit of experience. After a little bit of success, he got stressed out and had a mental breakdown. He fired most of the company while laughing. Then afterwards he got really drunk in the office to celebrate everyone who still had a job.

As of right now, Ubisoft's CEO, Yves Guillemot, is a total moron. The gaming industry has changed a lot, yet he refuses to innovate. He won't even sell the company unless he gets to remain as CEO, which scared off potential investors. Rather than making new games, his plan is to remake old games. The problem with remaking old games is that his company has essentially been doing that for the past 15 years, which is the entire reason why sales are down in the first place. We are seeing Ubisoft collapse in real time.

Aside anyone in the current administration and elon musk...? I would say NIssan and Mitsubishi, both companies have Ceo's that rammed their companies through the ground hard.

Obviously he's not the worst or even close to it but Mark Zuckerberg has made some exceptionally dogshit decisions.

All businesses fail on a long enough timeline, and all CEOs engage in fraud to some degree, some just go full retard. Lots of people work their way up and it appears they are competent because their actions/decsions were strictly controlled by a competent senior, but once the get to a kep postion and can do as they please they bankrupt or nearly bankrupt the company. There are many, many examples, espcially since the meme of appointting DEI candidates to CEO positions. One regular retard is Randall Lynn Stephenson who almost destroyed ATT. Look at all the CEOs of the big banks and fiancial companies all with MBAs or PhDs from the top univeristies that destroyed their companies and need infinate money bailouts to save the whole system in 2008/2009. Do not forget George W. Bush graduated with and MBA from Harvard and oversaw the regulation and near destruction of the US economy. When I was taking my accounting classes I had to do a project, I believe it was a presentation on FASB 57, something like that. What I found was for every notable financial collapse of the some major company the separate accounting agency, like Arthur Anderson, was fully aware of the fraud and part of the fraud for excessive fees.
