It's easy to feel like big corporations are out of touch with reality when it comes to compensating their top executives. But the truth is, those companies are owned and controlled by shareholders -- regular people like us -- and shareholders now have a say in their company's executive compensation practices. If you own shares in a company and want to start forcing companies to be more accountable to shareholders on executive compensation, it's important to make your voice heard and vote your shares when you can.

For example, soon after 54% of Beazer Homes shareholders rejected the board's executive compensation package, the CEO was relieved of his duties. Because their shareholders spoke up, this company was held accountable for how they paid their executives.
