V. John Ella and Adam Brown discuss Executive Compensation in Minnesota and the United States. John and Adam talk about a variety of topics in the Executive Compensation and HR space, and they cover a wide range of topics, including the definition of what makes an "executive," the history of executive and employee compensation in the U.S., benefits, salaries, stock, equity/ownership, restricted stock, stock options, stock appreciation rights, valuation appraisals, and phantom equity. They also discuss strategies for incentivization and retention, bonuses (retention, signing, annual, and performance), commissions, "Pay for Performance," 409A plans, and newer trends such as private equity investments, profits interest agreements, supplemental executive retirement plans (SERPs), deferred compensation, long-term incentive plans, and non-voting membership interests. So, they cover quite a bit!
