RE: Option rip off

No one, especially compensation consultants knows exactly how workers are motivated to contribute to stockholder value. There are many tricky compensation models from the days of Taylor. Nothing has worked better than the boss having a big investment in his own company and it is becoming clear that promising executives ownership has been very effective in inducing EPS growth. I would go farther. I believe much of the success of the Silicon Valley model is the widespread distribution of options. Companies like Microsoft and Intel with options spread among a large fraction of the workforce have enviable 10 year growth records. Companies like Dell and Microsoft grow well in part, I believe, because their CEO's are owners and share risks with other stockholders. They perform especially well because a large fraction of the workforce acts as if they are substantial owners and have much of their personal wealth invested in the future of the company.
