Our Favorite Dow CEO

The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which analyst Jason Moser and advisor Charly Travers discuss topics across the investing world.

Foolish investors know that great leadership can be the difference between a market beater and a market laggard. Jason and Charly talk about one CEO of a very well-known Dow component company whose results have been no less than "golden," leaving investors absolutely "lovin' it."
