Award-winning CEOs, that is. A study by two professors, one at Cal and one at UCLA, found that CEOs who won awards—by publications such as Business Week, for example—performed more poorly over time than their comparable, awardless counterparts.

Will the results affect newly appointed Haas School of Business dean Richard Lyons? After all, deans are the CEOs of the college world.

We’ll let the Haasites decide, as it looks like he’s determined to teach at least one class this year. Just try not to compliment him too much, lest it detracts from his deanly duties.
