Well, I misspoke. The NY Times last Sunday in its special section on executive compensation said that CEO pay in large companies is 179 times the bottom. Even worse.
Your argument is not compelling, becuse there is evidence that CEOs are motivated more by power and impact than by compensation, and do not choose whether to try to grow because of higher pay. They do notice pay, since it is an easy way to keep score, but not as a direct motivator.
If all executives could make no more than, say 2.5 million Euros, they would still be able to live (and save) comfortably -- and would be less likely to cause resentment and cynicism in the work force.

Interventions are either direct, typically involving a confrontative meeting with the alcohol or other drug dependent person (the most typical type of intervention) or indirect, involving work with a co-dependent family to encourage them to be more effective in helping the addicted individual. The use of interventions originated in 1960s with Dr. Vernon Johnson. The Johnson Model was subsequently taught years later at the Johnson Institute. This model pioneered way of intervention however has always come under scrutiny because of the "ambushing" nature that the model falls under. Despite some of the negative beliefs of the Johnson Model, it is still responsible for thousands of lives that have been turned around as the result of a Johnson Model Intervention. It should be noted however that in the last 20 years 3 other major models of intervention have been created and utilized within the field of intervention. The Heart to Heart Model/Storti Model is similar to the Johnson Model in that the element of surprise exists, however it takes out the component of confrontation and is a very loving and caring display of intervention.
Two of the major models of intervention that are utilized today are known as systemic and A.R.I.S.E. model of intervention. Both use an invitational approach to intervention and rely heavily on having the family as a whole enter a phase of recovery. This helps take the focus off the addicted individual and notes the need for the entire family unit to change in an effort for everyone who is involved to get healthy. These models places an emphasis on treating the addicted individual with dignity and respect..
