I think this can only help and not only for CxOs but also premier athletes who on occasion are known to have terrible seasons.

Well, it was never the intention of Alfred Nobel to have a prize for Economics. The so-called "Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics" was established after a large donation from the Bank of Sweden in 1968, but has been regarded by many (including Nobel's grandson) as an inauthentic award.

Leonid Kantorovich won it for applying his results in Operations Research [1] to planning the Russian economy.
John Nash won it for .. of course .. Game Theory.
