An dieser Stelle wird keine Annahme darüber getroffen, ob die Persönlichkeitseigenschaften des CEO eine Auswirkung auf den Unternehmenserfolg haben. Im Sinne der attribution theory entsteht ein Einfluss von CEOs auf den Unternehmenserfolg lediglich durch die Zuschreibung durch Mitarbeiter (Calder 1977; Pfeffer 1981). Der Einfluss von CEOs auf den Unternehmenserfolg ist auch aus empirischer Sicht umstritten (Fitza 2014, 2016; Quigley und Hambrick 2015).
