Jeff Kindler's tenure as the CEO of pharmaceutical giant Pfizer was marked by sagging stock prices, a dried-up pipeline, and unexpected changes in strategy, capped by a "coup" of sorts that ultimately cost Kindler his job, reports Fortune magazine. The CEO was called to the airport in Fort Myers, Fla., on December 4, 2010, to "plead for his job" in front of three of the company's board members, write Fortune's Peter Elkind, Jennifer Reingold, and Doris Burke.
