Why not simply pay executives a stipend for living expenses and then give them a percentage of the profits for a given year? I am not suggesting this be made a law or anything like that but I would think it would be one way to entice executive management to work harder.

Or entice them to "cook the books."

Or incentivize them even more than they already are to maximize short-term as opposed to long-term performance.
