People are up in arms over bankers, politicians,civil servants etc...earning big bucks. I think there is an assumption that not for profit sector can fall into this category as so many are state funded. I do think the sector can't shy away from the salary debate and need to stand tall and proud and justify salaries that are paid. And when asked by the media what their CEO gets paid, make some real life comparisons that people can relate to.

And yes, you never said "should". But my feeling is that this is what people are hearing - that as soon as many people even hear mention of these huge salaries it becomes completely intangible and they switch off to the rest of your message (which I totally agree with).<br /><br />Thanks for taking the time to post.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275357983642270433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030936637291270507.post-70492973018686608422013-03-28T14:04:30.647+00:002013-03-28T14:04:30.647+00:00Hey Simon,
This 'll have to be a quick reply,...Hey Simon,<br /><br />This 'll have to be a quick reply, but I never said that people "should" earn $400k, like as a matter of morality or anything. My argument is simply this: If you don't start competing with the for-profit sector to get the talent in that range then you're going to lose that talent. And if that talent could help you thrive, that's a big loss to every donor - especially the bank clerk who donates but only earns $30k a year.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828862417382178003noreply@blogger.com
