This would actually be an interesting test of that decision and the law of Business Judgement, which normally shields corporate directors from micromagement via lawsuit.
I doubt it would pass the threshold of "grossly negligent" that you'd typically need to sue a CEO as a shareholder, but it's certainly different from an otherwise positive action that simply uses company resources - like raising salaries or making charitable donations.
