The effect showed up three years later, which suggests that leaders are doing the hard work of changing companies. But the picture painted by the data is actually different from this one-size-fits-all approach. Leaders tend to be more prevalent in larger firms and in industries that are, on average, more skill-intensive and complex, while managers tend to run smaller and, to some extent, simpler organizations i. And plenty of manager CEOs in our data set do run successful firms.
These observations led us to hypothesize that the performance differentials we captured in the data might instead be due to imperfections in the CEO-firm fit. Some companies need great in-the-weeds managers as CEOs, and others need high-level, vision-setting communicators. But, because the market for CEOs is far from perfect, sometimes managers — who are more abundant in our sample than leaders — end up in a leader role, and thus negatively affect the performance of the firm they run.
In support of this hypothesis, we saw that places with less-effective labor markets for CEOs were typically associated with a greater disparity in the performance of firms run by managers, relative to firms run by leaders. Leaders who set the vision, convene key functions, and communicate effectively can, overall, have a meaningful impact on firm performance, when the setting requires these skills.
Often the sum will be in the 50th, 75th or 90th percentile, therefore constantly maintaining or increasing pay, he writes.

Bonuses are then agreed as a way to measure performance, either increasing based on financial measures or provided in sum if specific goals are met. As shareholders have grown in power, their demand for high share prices has nudged up CEO pay Credit: Alamy. Both the process for base pay and for bonuses are seen by workers' representatives as problematic because boards, not wanting to upset the leader of their company who could leave or fire them, therefore push up pay. Janet Williamson, senior policy officer at the UK's Trades Union Congress, argues the system of compensation committees, who often report directly to the CEO, lacks impartiality and should be reformed.
In fact, Pepper argues the empirical evidence shows the strongest correlation between pay and company financial measures is not financial performance, but rather the size of companies — there is simply more money to spend. Whether CEO pay is justified remains subject to fierce debate. On one side, free-market economists argue high executive pay is justified if it aligns with the interests of executives and shareholders. If businesses are willing to pay these sums, they say, that is value that the market thinks the executives are worth.
Yet a number of researchers say that the role of the average CEO — a managerial type that hasn't founded the business and hasn't been a visionary — is overstated. Rather, other factors are more important in deciding the fortunes of a company. It could be the contribution of workers. The impact of a CEO on company performance is not measurable, which is the nub of the issue.
They have this 'talent ideology' to justify this. But is their ability so rare? I think it's a con. Bolchover says the global financial crisis is a prime example of how performance and pay don't always align. According to Bolchover, the "vortex of self-interest" between shareholders, board members and executives is why CEO pay has not dipped — and, for him, that is why there is growing pressure from the general public. Nohria and Harvard Business School professor Michael Porter tracked the daily activities of CEOs at 27 billion-dollar companies for 13 weeks to discover their time-management practices, and the results were published in Harvard Business Review.
They found that the average CEO works 9. How those hours were allocated was crucial to their own effectiveness as well as the performance of their companies. These are the areas that have the most impact. CEOs have to be so structured with their time. To have time to prepare or do strategic work, CEOs need to claim larger blocks of time away from the office. Related: 5 CEOs share their best productivity tips.
