Ken Fisher just published a column on Forbes titled: Portfolio Juice From Hero CEOs. He said that real hero CEOs can materially boost a stock's multiple.

"My father, Philip Fisher, always believed management was the key. Warren Buffett said that when great management meets a lousy business it's the management's reputation that changes (and vice versa). They would both agree: A great management in a great business purchased at a great price is, well, great."

He thinks that CEOs of Ryanair (RYAAY, Financial), Costco (COST, Financial), Papa John's International (PZZA, Financial), Xerox (XRX), and Nucor (NUE, Financial) are real CEOs.
