When the end of her stint as Yahoo CEO came for Carol Bartz, it arrived via a phone call from the company's chairman. That's what she told employees in a profanity-free, company-wide email when she learned the news. Bartz was fired after nearly three years as Yahoo's chief executive, having failed to turn around the once-great Internet company, which has been declining for years while rivals like Google have been on a decade-long tear. Following a string of ineffective leaders and a nasty fight with Microsoft that almost resulted in a hostile takeover, Yahoo signed on Bartz.
