Grading Directors by Stock Price (... and other dumb ideas)

Did you see this article a few weeks ago in The Wall Street Journal about this about grading directors by stock price? (subscription required) Man... that's about as dumb as trading two fast-rising pitching prospects for a guy who can't find the strike zone.

IROs - and people who love IROs - where are you on this one?!!? Why aren't you filling the blogosphere with call-and-response chants of "What do we want? METRICS! When do we want them? NOW!" Where's the sudden surge in related webinars? Where's the collective push to establish a comprehensive governance score card for companies and their Boards to use with investors?

C'mon people - if you really want a seat at the table as you've said before, then you can't sit on your hands! If the stock price isn't the right way to grade your performance, then how is it the right way to measure your boss's boss?!?!
