A bad CEO can do a huge amount of harm to a company, even if it has excellent workers. So perhaps the value of a CEO is more in that they put the right people in the right positions and don't hold them back.

So in a sense to get a measure of the "value" of a good CEO you would need to not measure them against a bad CEO but perhaps against a company without a CEO at all where smart people self-organise.
