Recently, Heidrick & Struggles and the Rock Center for Corporate Governance at Stanford University surveyed 107 CEOs and directors of Fortune 500 companies to understand their perception of CEO pay practices among the largest U.S. corporations. The research finds that public company directors give CEOs considerable credit for corporate success, believing that 40 percent of a company’s overall results, on average, are directly attributed to the CEO’s efforts.
