Key Takeaways

• View the pay of top executives as an overall strategy, not a series of individual decisions. • Executives respond to comparisons of their pay with that of peers in their own organization, but also with the pay of peers in other organizations and with their CEO’s pay. • Executive turnover is minimized when executive pay is higher than external peers, similar to internal peers, and substantially lower than CEO pay.
