When I worked at a large telco, it was heresy to suggest that the execs be required to hold their stock for 5 years so that the consequences of their policies was reflected in the long term value of the stock. The bandits were more interested in a pump and dump approach, then fleeing the disaster they caused. The "hold" requirement makes the management work in the interests of improving the company.

That’s absolutely right, and the best talent would be willing to risk more of their income in equity if they had something unique to offer.
