> If you're the CEO of a company and you increased profits by 92%

YOU, the CEO, didn't single-handedly increase profits by even a single percentage point. One employee out of 1 million, take your millionth of a cut of the profits, that's still $150K.




Good leaders are able to make other people more profitable. If someone was able to make 500k people more profitable that is worth a lot.


the CEO has quite a bit more influence over the company financials than ICs do, however good they are.
