The answer is deceptively simple:You have to pay an executive more than he could make running his own private company.

Anyone capable of running a large corporation could also run his own business. Anyone capable of convincing a group of investors to let him run a publicly traded company could just as well convince a group of investors to fund a private venture.

Frankly, that's absurd. The skills needed to run a large company are different from the skills needed to found a company, and lead it through its initial growth stages.

So let them go begin "their own" company. If they can.
