Paul Polman (Paulus Gerardus Josephus Maria Polman) Quotes

People at my level Unilever CEO shouldn't be motivated by salary. If you paid me double, I'm not going to work twice as much, because I'm already probably maximizing my time available. And would it change the way I do things? Not really. So, yes, I am fortunate, and I am ashamed about the amount of money I earn.
