@dweetle: Howard Schultz was once asked a very uncomfortable question: How can a billionaire CEO justify his wealth while employees are fighting for better pay and working conditions? His response? Schultz pointed to his upbringing in federally subsidized housing, his rise from a modest background, and the responsibility he carried as the leader of Starbucks. He argued that he earned his wealth through years of work and that his compensation reflected the value and responsibility attached to leading a global company. But the exchange exposed a much bigger question: When does executive compensation reflect performance — and when does it become disconnected from the people doing the work? There’s no simple answer. But it’s a debate that isn’t going away. Follow @dweetle for more. DM for credits or removal. #Business #Leadership #Entrepreneurship #Economy #Workplace
