I don’t agree on your first point. I do think power and talent is highly consolidated among a small number of executives. Especially when you look at (as most boards do) executives within a specific industry vertical.

That’s not to say those people guarantee success, but it is less of a risk than picking someone unknown and without the established network and direct relevant experience.

Again all this to say I don’t think shaming companies into paying less will work, we should just tax CEOs more and let companies pay what they want.
