It is interesting that when the topic of incentive compensation comes up among people interested in what we might broadly term as conscious capitalism, many seem uncomfortable with the idea. It’s as if paying someone a bonus for goal attainment or growth is somehow incompatible with the notion of loving and respecting your employees. I’d like Bob to comment on his philosophy around incentive compensation (and other forms of incentives). And, if he believes they have a place in running an organization in which everybody matters, how does he approach the use of incentives, e.g., is everyone eligible…what sorts of things does he think should be rewarded, etc.?
