Guts. This guy has guts. Hoarding away a 3m bonus like that has an implicit statement of "I'm afraid for my own fiscal future to the tune of 3m dollars" stamped on it. Instead, he gives it away, telling the world and his employees that he is confident, nay, OPTIMISTIC about the company's future.
To contrast, take the typical American CEO: he or she would have taken this money, offshored it, spent another couple of years going to board meetings, and then jumped ship to another gig in some other company's c-suite. You know what I call that person? A COWARD.
