It would take the average Wal-Mart wage earner, who scrapes together a living, often needing two jobs, over a thousand years to make what their CEO makes.
I've worked with a fair share of Fortune 100 companies over the years and have seen who makes companies grow and succeed. It is a collective effort.

With over 80% disengagement worldwide, these over compensated leaders have a distinct competency in creating daily disengagement.
This is an actionable problem.
