Jha is sharp. He convinced the desperate, gullible, and incompetent Motorola board of directors to guarantee him a multi million dollar paycheck, even he if can’t fix Motorola Devices. He walks off with $30 million in October 2010…no questions asked. The Jha compensation deal is another example of failed American corporate governance that is ruining great American corporations. The Motorola board has presided over a string of incompetent CEOs and executives. The last Motorola CEO who knew what he was doing was George Fisher. Since Fisher, there has been a string of incompetent executives. Tooker – dull, uninspiring and a stopgap to groom the anointed prince; Chris Galvin – the tragic prince thrust into a job for which he was not cut out to do; Ed Zander -the carpet bagger; Brown – the computer illiterate; and now Jha – a $30 million no worries paycheck guy. What makes it so tragic is that Motorola operates in an industry they helped invent – mobile telephones; an industry that has grown at phenomenal rates for the past twenty years and created billions and billions of profits. Every Motorola board director should resign.
