When you get that high up in a corp., your North Star is “shareholder value”, and you’re probably right to do that.
I wouldn’t want to and won’t if I was ever lucky enough to have the opportunity.

Costco tries to offer the lowest prices it possibly can. This has huge implications for how the company is structured and where it uses its energy. Imagine a tech company that focused entirely on making the user experience as good as it possibly could, rather than one trying to extract as much money as they can this quarter.
