The CEO, depending on the company size, has the ability to steer an entire company and their direction. When I worked for a housing manufacture in Michigan we had lost money for 5 years back to back and downsized repeatedly to try and offset the losses. The board fired our current CEO and hired a new one, twice the salary of the previous and also with major perk incentives if he could turn a profit. He streamlined all our production lines and eliminated all custom ordering and focused development of highly reusable housing layouts with less options. In the first year we broke even and the second year we turned our first profit in almost a decade to the tune of 20 million dollars. So how much was his value? In the first year he stopped us from having a typical 5-10 million dollar loss, in the second year his actions directly resulted in a 20 million dollar profit. His salary was 1 million a year plus perks and bonuses. He provided a far greater value than his salary cost the company. Amplify the size of the company, amplify the potential of a CEO’s worth. They can directly control whether a company succeeds or fails.
