America’s Search for a CEO
What if the best candidate a headhunter could submit had a history of indictments, impeachments, rape, fraud and bankruptcies? By Readers Aug. 30, 2023 3:00 pm ET Regarding your editorial “Indictment Four: Trump as Racketeer” (Aug. 16): If a company were to retain a headhunter to recruit a new chief executive officer and the best candidate he could submit had a history of indictments, impeachments, bankruptcies and allegations of fraud, I would think the headhunter had lost his mind. The announcement would surely trigger a significant fall in the company’s stock price. Stephen Maitland-Lewis Rancho Mirage, Calif.
