Not sure I agree. If a company was already in a downward slump and the new CEO keeps it from dropping even faster that may actually be doing a good job. Let's say the new CEO of a news paper company makes it so they only loose 10 customers a year instead of 15 cutomers a year that is pretty good for a dieing business. Doing the same can be considered good as well.
"Improving" a company also could be bad in our eyes. For an investor in a company "Improving" the company is making the companies value more. For example how some of the big box stores "improved" was by cuting variety and reducing staff size. This makes it hard for a customer to find someone to help them. I remember when Walmart use to have employees everywhere and now it's almost impossible to find someone to help you there. Also when I go to a Safeway the amount of different Ceriels/Candy Bars/Jams have been ruduced to the most popular ones, less than half of the variety there use to be. This is improving for the share owners, but not for the cutomers or employees.
