Executive Compensation at Talent Partners
Posted: 28 Feb 2012
Date Written: May 3, 2011
Abstract
Talent Partners' CEO was very successful at growing the business and establishing its leadership position. He was compensated with a mix of salary and options and he did not own any equity in the company. The options were set so that if Talent Partners achieved its financial plan over the next five years, about half of his total compensation would come from the options.
Learning Objective: The case allows students to explore the strengths and weaknesses of option-based compensation plans for small, privately-held corporations.
