There's a common misconception about that..

If top talent - the kind of talent that runs billion dollar companies - needs this sort of compensation to choose charities over private industry, maybe incenting them to run a charity through comp isn't such a bad idea. If I could pay a charity CEO $1 million to bring in an extra $50 million in funding relative to a CEO that will take, say, $100k a year, but will contribute to absolute "services" less, I'd pay the $1 million.

Sure, a greater portion of the charity's funding may go to admin, but what's better? A big piece of a small pie, or a smaller piece of a huge pie?
