Boards in action beat bored directors

Article Abstract:

A study by two academics, Sanjai Bhagat and Charles Elson, found that the more corporate directors had a share stake in their company, the more likely their company's stock would perform well. When the average stock-holding of directors was more than $750,000, company performance was greater than when the holdings were less than $100,000. The study also found that boards that have heavy investments in a company move quickly to remove a chief executive when there is a problem, as was the case with Albert Dunlap Jr. of Sunbeam Corp.
