Overview: IT is never easy to face the reality that something one hold near and dear to one's heart is just plain wrong. It happened to with respect to stock-based compensation - whether stock options, restricted stock, shadow stock or any other form of incentive compensation based on the publicly-traded stock of the manager's firm. The dominant proposition is that stock based compensation of management creates a harmonious alignment of their interests with the interests of shareholders. The reigning orthodoxy in the business world - as well as the realms of business academia and compensation consulting, is that with stock-based compensation, managers will manage in a fashion that is most beneficial to shareholders generally.
