Shiv Shivakumar on CEO Pay, Corporate Governance, and Leadership

Shiv Shivakumar, a former CEO, wrote a book about being a good leader.

He says it's important for leaders to be ethical and to build good teams.

He talks about recent company problems, like when leaders make mistakes or are greedy.
