By demonstrate here, he really means explain.
It is ultimately the shareholders that need to be kept happy - partly because they obviously own the company, but more importantly because if they are not happy then the share price will fall and it will be harder for the company to raise money.
How to keep the shareholders happy? Pay good dividends, keep the EPS increasing etc etc
