I don't believe this argument for one second. First off: Of those 55 countries you cite, how many of those countries leaders would you guess are making more money than an HP or equivalent CEO. Any? Surely 'running' a country comes with a tiny bit more responsibility than running a large company. Yet there is no shortage of wannabe leaders and that's because money isn't the motivating factor. And I don't think it's the motivating factor of a good CEO. You want to do a great job, build great products, run a great company. But salary? Do you think Tim Cook would have rather switched to HP if they offered to pay him $5m more?
