I agree that money is not the only motivator .... but large not for profits do not always have the luxury of waiting for or finding that right person that is qualified and willing to do the job at much less when they are in need of good leadership talent.

Their best option is to seek out top level executives that may have retired or separated from a successful career in the private sector and are willing or looking to give back and do the job for 5 to 10 years. Depending on the area (like popular retirement communities), this works well. Some times they do not need a full time leader to be effective if they are good at creating a vision, setting a strategy and has strong leaders below them.

Not for profits have many options ... but sometimes large ones need to seek out top level talent to put them on the right course, and that may require paying for it ... which could be a very good investment.

My only point was that making a lot of money is not always a bad investment ... it may be the best one. That is part of the boards role to decide through a compensation committee. If they have a strong board, i trust they will make the right decision.
