Leadership & Board
Who runs the company and who is supposed to keep them honest — pay structure, ownership, tenure, and independence.
Two different questions live here: is management paid in a way that ties their outcome to shareholders', and is the board independent enough to say no to management when it counts.
For executives, the split between base, bonus, stock, and options tells you more than the total does — heavy equity weighting means they lose when the stock falls; heavy base and bonus means they get paid regardless.
For the board, independence and tenure tell you whether it functions as a check or a rubber stamp — a board full of long-tenured, non-independent members rarely pushes back.
Judge whether leadership's incentives are tied to the stock or just to showing up — read the pay split, not the total.
Judge whether the board can actually challenge management — read independence and tenure, then committee seats.
