Should HP’s current CEO be blamed for past CEO’s mistakes?

In this day of age, when big company’s failure are evident through stock’s dropping, their CEO’s get the boot.

So why is this not the case for HP’s CEO Meg Whitman?

HP has definitely been in a rut for the past few years due to previous CEO’s downfalls (cough Mark Hurd cough) but how is it that Meg Whitman has been to blame? She was named the “Most Underachieving CEO of 2012” by Bloomberg, but why so?

Whitman has been picking up the slack of previous CEO’s, that she could not focus on moving the company forward, when they were so behind. With Whitman being constantly being slandered by the media as underachieving, HP’s reputation consistently goes down.

That being said, we should allow Whitman to start anew in 2013. She currently is bring HP up from the ashes and turning around the company.

What’s in store for HP’s future in the near future? Only time will tell.
