That's kind of the idea behind deferred compensation, usually in the form of stock grants (or stock options). But people are often critical of that as well, because it prioritizes boosting the stock price above all else, and of course when all the deferred comp does eventually get paid out, people get quite upset hearing about a 9-digit payday, even if it was the sum of a decade's withheld earnings.
