In many cases, the lion's share of C-level pay is not straight up cash, but equity. They might still make money if they destroy value, but the better they do for the company, the better they do for themselves. That's what you're looking for, right?

Better still, that stock compensation isn't really paid for by the company. The costs of paying with equity accrue to shareholders in the form of dilution.
