    If shareholders take you to the court for not prioritizing short-term profit at all costs, are you willing to defend this position?

      Yes.

      The board must put the interests of shareholders above other stakeholders, but those interests consist of a lot more than just immediate revenues.

      Depends if the shareholders are all hedge funds wanting to pump-and-dump or if they’re actual investors interested in making the company better!

      Sue for what? No self-respecting CEO would accept a position that creates personal tort liability if the stock price doesn’t go up.
