"My personal preference, when things like option plans and bonus schemes are going to be implemented, is to make them available to all employees in values related to their salaries so that the company is seen to believe that everyone has the interests of the shareholders at heart when doing their daily jobs. I have been involved in situations where we paid all employees a bonus from a pool that was a percent of profits and they were all kept informed regularly about our success in achieving targets. The resulting motivation to make daily decisions that would improve the bottom line was truly amazing to witness. Giving management a huge pool of shares while leaving the rest of the organization outside the plan doesn't appeal to me."

Excellent remark.
