Executive Compensation, Charities, and the Curse of Proximity (HBS)

Compelling article from Harvard Business Review describing backlash for high paid nonprofit executives.

"What all this reveals is a curse of proximity. A market approach is allowed within the nonprofit sector when the emotional sympathy for the needy is absent; high salaries can be paid to entertain high society without a question. But the moment the thought of a starving child or a struggling mother is introduced, all the rules change. The needy's own images work against them."
