CNBC's Jim Cramer told investors that even good leadership can't save a company that's struggling.
"Management matters, sure, but when you bring in a new pilot on a crashing airplane, they can't defy gravity," he said said.for the CNBC Investing Club's Charitable Trust. He said he was convinced that new CEO Mary Dillon would be able to turn things around for the struggling footwear retailer as she had previously done for
"I knew turning around Foot Locker would be a herculean task, but I had so much confidence in Dillon's leadership that I figured everything would be fine no matter how hard the story got," he said. "While I put a lot of emphasis on the need for great management and how terrific CEOs can accomplish incredible things here, some things are impossible for even the best executives in the world.
In retrospect, orchestrating a comeback for a mall-based store with a lot of excess inventory like Foot Locker is just too difficult, Cramer said.

"Management matters, sure, but when you bring in a new pilot on a crashing airplane, they can't defy gravity," Cramer said. "Pure hubris on my part. Hubris is an awful trait when it comes to investing, and I allowed it to cloud my judgment like a rookie would. Shame on me."
