I feel that transparency within a corporation is extremely important to maintain. Especially in this case where it was about a hospital and its success depends very much on the trust it has with its patients. So I find it really interesting to hear that a CEO was opening starting a discussion on how much he makes and why especially since it is very touchy topic in today’s current economic state. It really shows that the CEO is trying to establish a mutual trust with his stakeholders but being honest about how much he makes. If I was a stakeholder it would give me a lot more confidence in how the hospital is run because if the CEO is willingly to discuss his salary then he is obviously going to be more open about the policies and practices of the hotel.

I was fascinated by this blog. I recently watched the feature film “Confessions of a Shopaholic” and in this film, the protagonist acts as a financial advisor to a financial magazine (despite being $16,000 in debt) that makes finance easy to understand to the “normal American”. The protagonist goes to a conference and asks “all the hard questions” in an attempt to expose the truth about corporate executives’ salaries. I equate the protagonist with the author of this blog because I feel like they both are asking “all the hard questions” while making it easy for an uneducated reader like myself to understand. Keep up the good work!
