    At least one founder and former CEO agrees that the idea of boosting shareholders’ returns isn’t likely to be a key motivator to workers these days. Ron Shaich, Panera Bread’s founder and former longtime CEO, has stressed how important it is for management and members of the C-suite to empathize with their employees and better understand what can get their buy-in to the company’s mission.

    “No employee ever wakes up and says, ‘I’m so excited. I made another penny a share today for Panera’s shareholders,’” Shaich told Business Insider in an interview. “Nobody cares. You don’t care whether your CEO comes or goes.”

    What a click bait bullshit title. The person never said what they are implying they said.

      To be fair, there isn’t really anything in the title to imply that. It’s just what people are primed to infer.

          They might know people will infer that. But that’s still not in the text itself. And insisting it is requires mind reading.

          One should always keep Hanlon’s Razor in mind.
