🏢 Corporate Governance: Who Really Runs the Show? 📊

Every headline about a global giant makes you wonder—who’s really pulling the strings? In this Deep Dive, we cut through the jargon to reveal the invisible frameworks that shape company decisions, ethics, and performance: corporate governance.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
🔹 The Board of Directors – insiders vs. outsiders, and why balance matters.
🔹 Different systems – single boards in the US/UK vs. Germany’s dual-board model with employee voices.
🔹 Power at the top – should the CEO and Chair be one person or two? The leadership vs. accountability debate.
🔹 Executive pay – from stock options to “golden parachutes,” how rewards are structured (and why they’re so controversial).
🔹 Shareholder power – how investors are demanding more say in how companies are run.

Corporate governance isn’t just paperwork—it’s the rulebook that decides how companies grow, compete, and impact all of us. Understanding it helps you see past the glossy PR and into the real power dynamics.
