People thing that replacing the CEO will change everything, as people lined up to beat up on Rick Wagoner while I was the rare outlier suggesting not only was he a pretty good choice, that replacing him wouldn't be the difference maker. On the other hand, don't dismiss it entirely. It's A component, and should be taken seriously. It depends on your role. If you're inside the company, don't worry about it, as it's not a lever you can pull. But if you're the board of directors, you should put a lot of thought into it because it's one of your primary levers and areas of responsibility. One man, or woman, rarely makes THE difference but can make A difference - look at Alan Mulally at Ford. He's not THE reason Ford is doing well, but he's adding significant value in righting that ship.
