Short of actually digging into C-level contracts and disclosures of stock sales etc, what are the tells that an executive is acting primarily to move stocks to maximize their comp rather than build company value? Eg: flashy acquisitions with dubious logic but media-baiting

If financial engineering takes priority over engineering engineering. If investors are the customer instead of the customers being the customer. If the story is more important than the product itself.
