o you believe most CEOs in U.S. companies are overpaid and underperform? Explain. What pay or performance criteria do you believe should be used for top-level officers in publicly traded companies?
Yes, after considering the huge variance between the median pay of the company and CEO's compensation I do believe most CEO's are overpaid. As their compensation is hugely linked to shares they have tendency not to take the decision which are beneficial for the company in long run they tend to make Wall Street happy. This satisfy their 2 objectives, first they don't need to take some courageous moves thereby maintaining status quo and underperform, second it helps them get piece of company's increasing stock's pie.
In my view CEO's compensation should be linked to:
1. Employee median pay and work satisfaction
2. Enterprise Value
3. Performance of company on ESG grounds and social responsibility
