When coming second can be a winning ticket
At Shell, it's more complicated but still very much about personal pique. Three top executives, Malcolm Brinded, Linda Cook and Peter Voser, are to be paid up to 1 million (£796,000) in restricted shares if they hang around until 2011.

If any of them were a leading contender, there would be no need to bribe them to stick around for the biggest promotion of their careers. The Shell board is terrified that the three veterans might pack their bags just as the new chief walks in the door.
