This shift to “heroic” leadership can be seen in ballooning CEO compensation. According to a January 2008 report by the Hay Group, the CEO’s of the 50 largest US companies are now paid almost three times what their European counterparts receive ­– which is many hundreds of times more than their own workers.
这种向“英雄”领导的转变可以从不断膨胀的CEO报酬可以看出。根据合益集团（Hay Group）2008年1月份的一份报告，最大的50家美国企业的CEO现在的报酬几乎是欧洲相当职位人员的三倍——这比他们自己的工人的报酬多几百倍。
