> every CEO's ultimate vision was to increase shareholder value

That is like saying every organism's ultimate vision is to flood the world with offspring carrying its own genes. It is true in some sense... But it is also good that it fades into the background in the day-to-day because the things you (supposedly) do to get there have much better consequences than just trying to go directly for the goal.
