b-team c-suite intro

Fortune recently posted its Executive Dream Team, and we had a lineup of heavy hitters. From Haier Group CEO Zhang Ruimin to Cisco CIO Rebecca Jacoby, these are people who have been on the top of their game this past year.

But what about the flip side? Who would be the last picked in Dream Team dodgeball? Certainly, several top executives at Fortune 500 companies have not panned out as expected. Whether that's due to major missteps, being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or some combination, we found a few players who didn't quite perform up to par.
