Pretty common sense stuff, but as they say common sense is not so common, especially among CEOs. As for underperforming CEOs getting high pay, from personal experience I can provide anotehr data point: Ed Zander who at one point was the highest paid in the US with ~$30M. He totally fked up Motorola (among other people). In fact, sadly, this seems to be the rule rather than the exception among CEOs.
