Your board thinks $100,000 is too much for a CEO because they never made more than $40,000 on the factory line. Your C-suite wants the credit union of old. And your employees? They're leaving, not for better pay, but because you're offering them a 1995 compensation package in 2026.
In this episode:
- What age is your leadership thinking in?
- Why somewhere you lost your ability to be creative
- Why they don't want pizza they want a path to your chair
- Why you can't keep absorbing benefit increases every year
