If you are able to recognise this, surely you have the power and the incentive to change this?

As a rule, people are not paid "what they are worth", they are either paid market rates or convince the company they have a differentiated skillset that warrants compensation beyond what is normal in the market (usually by tying their performance to some important metric). No one has yet found a way to change this from within a corporate structure.
Except in the tiniest of startups, managers and even directors have just about zero say in compensation ranges.
