On the other hand, I have seen an executive step away from a large company and then everything coincidentally goes to shit. It’s hard to measure the effectiveness of an executive.

It's hard to judge based on that, because a lot of times, CEOs are fired because they have done things that are putting the company on a bad trajectory or just because the company was on a bad trajectory for whatever reason. So firing the CEO is more of a signal than a cause.
