    Nice way to visualise the concept but, with respect, this is really a periphery issue to the principal-agent problem. Really it's just a demotivated employee. The principal-agent problem is more complex and relates to the unintended consequences that can come from using an agent. For example, a CEO of a company (agent) may want to acquire a competitor. Maybe the deal doesn't make financial sense for the company but the CEO wants to do the deal to make their CV more diverse and because it's 'sexy' to do large M&A deals. So the CEO (agent) tries to persuade the shareholders (principal) that they should accept the deal. That's a more core issue of the principal-agent problem.

      +Alex King The core issue is the misalignment of the interests between the principal and the agents. The agents are trying to capture private benefits at the expense of the principal when the cost of enforcing the principal's property rights is high. Such aggressive capture of private benefits can assume many different forms. Your rogue CEO is just another example.

    - You will be the Director. You will have tasks of a Secretary, you will have the salary of a Secretary.
    - Oh Yes boss I love you and I'll work hard.

    I am familiar with Daniel Pink's TED lecture. My cartoon does not talk about bonuses. It talks about ownership and being one's boss. Mr. Pink's examples are not applicable to most work situations and should not be romanticized in most people's real world.

    This is sexist. Surely there is a better way of showing principal-agent conflict. Completely unrealistic and archaic. Please educate yourself about employer-employee relationships.
