...The Girl Scouts of Central Texas was pleased to welcome the National CEO of Girl Scouts, Anna Maria Chavez on October 2nd, 2015. A veteran of Girl Scouts since the age of ten, Mrs. Chavez knows it all begins with a friendly smile and a drive to excel. Her visit to the Bryan Scout house, a lovely stone building built in the 1930s, couldn’t have had better Texas fall weather. There was a cool breeze and the sun shone softly as she gave exclusive interviews to This was also a wonderful opportunity for some local Girl Scouts to share about their own active pursuit of learning and community enrichment. The CEO was cheerful and dignified as ever as she shook hands with the bright eyed scouts. She was particularly excited to meet with a Girl Scout who is the first of her family to graduate high school and enter into higher education. Anna Maria’s visit to Texas included Honoring Cari Baker Wells. Cari is a law firm executive whose community service includes raising over a million dollars for San Antonio public schools. She also served as president of the 12th Man Foundation and led projects such as the design and completion of Kyle Field’s successful Zone Club. Wells of class 1984 received the highest honor bestowed upon a former student: Distinguished Alumni of Texas A&M University. Each of these women are striking figures who inspire and encourage. Their message is simple: Believe you can! They exemplify what is possible...

...CEO Compensation: A Display of Obscenity For years, the great debate over whether or not CEOs are overpaid has raged on. Some studies show that the average CEO in the US was paid $10 million to $15 million 2005[1]. Proponents argue that this level of compensation (compensation is the total amount of remuneration received by an employee, including salary, stock options, etc.) is necessary to obtain and retain the world’s greatest leaders, whole opponents argue the exorbitant amounts aren’t justified. However, in a world where economies are hurting, it’s hard to justify why CEO compensation is rising, and fast. While CEOs are hard-working, intelligent leaders who’ve worked up to their position, the rising levels of CEO compensation are unreasonable and almost unethical given the current state of the world economy. To put it simply, CEOs are accountable for the performance of their company, but in the end they are still managers. It is important that as a society, CEO compensation is better controlled and more reasonably determined. The high CEO compensation that exists today outlines the disparity of income between CEOs and their workers. CEOs pulling in millions while their workers struggle to get by is increasingly becoming an issue. A CEO working for a Fortune 50 company makes 213 times the average worker[2]. For instance, the CEO of Walmart pulls in $16,270,000 while the median worker makes just $22,700[3]. One of the worst CEO-to-worker pay ratios is found at UnitedHealth...

...The Debate over CEO Compensation Analyzing Managerial Decisions: The Debate over CEO Compensation 1. Do you think the fact that most American CEOs are paid so much more than rank-and-file employees suggests CEOs are overpaid? Explain. I do not believe that just because American CEOs are paid much more than rank-and-file employees suggest that they are overpaid. Many CEOs whose salaries and compensation packages are discussed in the news are the CEOs from the largest American corporations and likely do not represent the average American CEO. Also, many times when CEO payouts are discussed in the news it is not a one year payout but instead a multi-year payout. Plus, many companies need to pay high salaries and incentives to attract successful CEOs from other companies. This alone drives the overall salary and compensation packages for CEOs but does not necessary point to them being overpaid. 2. Japanese CEOs generally receive much lower levels of compensation than CEOs in the United States. Does this imply that U.S. CEOs are overpaid? I do not believe that just because Japanese CEOs receive much lower salaries than United States CEOs implies that they are overpaid. I worked for Honda and one item that I learned in the past years is that there are large differences between the American and Japanese cultures. The Japanese very much frown upon employees that leave their companies. Japanese employees barely ever transfer companies unlike American...

...Shareholders Watchdog, Inc. 777 Wall Street New York, NY 10005 December 7, 2011 RE: Is CEO Compensation Fair? Dear employee, Accompanying this letter is our completed report that discusses the issue of the fairness of current CEO compensation. Although there are two sides of this argument, recent legislation and regulations for reform tend to support those who believe it is unfair. We have evaluated the current standards of CEO compensation and examined why both sides think they should prevail. There are some advantages that strongly support CEO’s huge salaries, including the following: * Provides incentives and motivates the CEO to obtain or surpass corporate objectives * Retains key-value leaders for the long-term, resulting in consistent corporate success * Creates a strong CEO confidence for him/her to reinvest in the corporation (bonds) Our overall research indicates that CEO compensation does not reflect actual performance in most cases. Many CEO’s are grossly over compensated (including stock options, bonuses, hedge funds, and other benefits). The “Golden Parachute” guarantee adds insult to injury. Based on our research, conducted from the UNLV Library periodicals database and online sources, we recommend the following: * Require corporations to adhere to sections 951, 953, 955 and 956 of the Dodd-Frank Bill * Maintain a collective (“Esprit de corps”) work force environment for all employees * Consult third party professional...

...MAN 5266 – 1 Management of Professionals Week 05 Case 8.1: The (Mis) Behavior of Successful CEOs Leads to Their Departures Wilfredo C. Ilagan Everest University Online Abstract This paper is an analysis of a real world case as it relates to the learning about managing misbehavior. The Case 8.1, “The (Mis) Behavior of Successful CEOs Leads to Their Departures,” requires answers to the following questions: • “To what degree do you believe the behaviors of the featured CEOs constituted "misbehavior" and that reactions of the boards were correct?” (Ivancevich, J.M., Konopaske, R., & Matteson, M.T., 2014). • “If you were on a board of directors, what factors would you consider in the selection of a CEO to limit the potential of this type of misbehavior?” (Ivancevich, et al, 2014). • All three of the CEOs in the case were given large severance packages. What message does this send to future CEOs of these companies? If you were on the board of directors, would you endorse such severance packages? What is the cost of not granting a competitive severance package? (Ivancevich, et al, 2014). The (Mis) Behavior of Successful CEOs To what degree do you believe the behaviors of the featured CEOs constituted "misbehavior" and that reactions of the boards were correct? Harry Stonecipher The reaction of the Boeing’s board of directors against his “misbehavior” is a sign of a senior management that has no tolerance for any...

...Market Leader Issue 27, Winter 2004 www.warc.com What Do CEOs Want From Marketing? Anthony Freeling McKinsey Fiona Stewart Antennae Fran Cassidy The Cassidy Media Partnership Top of the CEO agenda is the need to deliver consistent top-line growth within an existing business portfolio, rather than from a continued reliance on acquisition. This objective was identified from our research into the opinions of CEOs and CMOs and highlights the importance of good marketing in running a successful company. We identified five consistent themes and these were: strong brands as a significant asset; more effective use of consumer data; the role of innovation, the need for better implementation and continued focus on business efficiency. Each area has significant implications for the role of the marketing function. Brands as a company asset In an increasingly clamorous society with a proliferation in the sheer volume of offerings, strong brands are significant assets in enabling companies to compete effectively. The challenges are building and maintaining brand equity by keeping brands refreshed and relevant and restoring trust in brands, particularly in sectors under attack from regulatory or consumer groups. Fmcg businesses typically have a strong brand focus across the organisation, but there is no room for complacency. Here, the main challenge is optimising resource allocation. As a result, a number of CEOs and CMOs talked about further rationalisation of the brand portfolio so that...

...Are Over the past 15 to 20 years more and more CEOs have been scrutinized and the typical CEO's pay is largely driven by market factors. CEOs pay is strongly related to stock performance. Because of more bureaucracy, the CEO's job has become increasingly more difficult over the past decade. In fact some would even argue that they are not paid enough and should be paid more. CEOs are being scrutinized more than ever. Some have taken on a celebrity persona such as Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Jack Welch. The fact of the matter is their pay is driven by market forces. You don't really hear of athletes being scrutinized like CEOs. However, since the collapse of companies such as Enron, WorldCom, and Tyco, their exposure has put them in the forefront of our society. CEOs are not unique. Other industries with similar backgrounds have earned just as well in the last decade. This includes top lawyers, athletes and top financial executives. Kaplan contends that it would be difficult to understand how pay increase could be driven by non-market forces when pay to athletes, lawyers and other groups have increased just as much. Their pay is strongly related to stock performance. Kaplan's recent analysis of CEO pays in a given year found that CEOs in the top 20% of actual pay generate stock returns 60% greater. This is greater than other firms in their industries over the past three years. In addition, CEOs from firms in the bottom 20% of actual pay underperformed...

...Jesus CEO Introduction There are many different characteristics that are talked about in the book “Jesus, CEO”. The three leadership techniques that are discussed are: strength of self-mastery, strength of self-action, and strength of relationships. There are a variety of different characteristics from each leadership technique that stood out to me about being an effective leader in the 21st century. Strength of self-mastery Strength of self-mastery focuses on internal motivators that allow us to influence others. Self-mastery is a test of our character. There are 5 characteristics which stood out to me about Jesus that would contribute to an effective leader in the 21st century. 1. He believed in himself. Jesus was one of the most confident people that ever lived. He never lacked confidence in himself or his abilities. Jesus’ belief in himself was an aspect of self-mastery. This instilled confidence in followers but also allowed him to relate to others. Believing in yourself in the 21st century is an important characteristic to have because if you don’t believe in yourself then nobody will believe in you. Effective leaders believe in themselves and are good at getting other people to believe in them. 2. He did the difficult things. Jesus did not worry about public opinions or the feelings of others, but he made decisions based on what was necessary. Professionals stay focused on their mission and do the difficult things. Whether it’s doing...
