Spinless leader. He should have fired half of the middle-managers right away, and some dead woods in his exec team, and reward well who is left.

Or he could have a product that people want to use. The problem with Yahoo is not middle management, it's that they are irrelevant. (Flickr is nice, though.)

The most popular website in the world is irrelevant? So what's relevant then - reddit?

Popularity is what you need in high school. Yahoo needs some money.
