The darling CEO steps down, and a scapegoat CEO steps up. They turn the heat up to 11 and take all the blame.

A new CEO eventually takes reins and promises to "fix things." They make a few popular changes. People praise the new ceo for walking things back to a 10, where the board wanted things all along.

@fromjason this also reminds me of the 'glass floor' phenomenon where a new leader who would usually be faced by a glass ceiling gets promoted except they're given an impossible job they're described to fail.
