I’m rather happy to own shares in companies run by the founder with ambitious growth over those run by a career CEO who wants to grow revenue 5% y/y and nothing else. While it’s true CEOs left unchecked engage in “empire building”, it’s also true that shareholders tend to suffer from short term thinking: money now is better than money later. The result is a lot of short term investments and a lack of 20 year planning.
