The main advantage of shareholders and partners over employed managers lies in their deeply rooted ownership mentality and the resulting long-term orientation. While employed managers are often focused on short- and medium-term goals, as their compensation and career opportunities depend on them, shareholders think in generational terms, as their personal wealth is directly tied to the company's sustainable success. This fundamental self-interest leads to greater commitment, greater risk-taking and foresight in strategic investments, stronger customer and partner loyalty, and more efficient use of resources, which ultimately significantly increases the resilience and long-term value of the company.
