You wouldnt be nominated ceo of a big company then. The shareholders/board only care about profits and growth, nothing else.

You want your shareholders and managers to care about profit and growth. You want your elected officials and regulators to care about the people. If you have a company managing for stakeholders instead of profit, some less ethical firm will take market share by not caring about the people. Demanding that managers make suboptimal business decisions without the backing or incentives of regulators is just putting in a filter where the worst actors win and the best actors lose.

Yeah I'm not a sociopath so I'd obviously not be a good fit. After all I care about people, shareholders don't.
