Tie executive compensation to the lowest paid or the average wage employees. Say a 10x cap. Your lowest paid employee makes $40k /yr, Executives can't make over $400k in total compensation. That's a bit low however, but if you made it based off of average employee compensation excluding VP and above, and it came out to say $80k/yr and made it like 15x you are looking at more like $1.2M/yr. Anyone who thinks $1.2M/yr in salary isn't fair(too low) is punch drunk on the kool-aid.
