Loneliness for CEOs arises not from insufficient social connections but rather from the immense burden of leadership, especially during crises when decision-making can feel isolated.
The high-stakes nature of leadership fosters a sense of solitude, particularly as executives depend on those around them to navigate challenges, which may lead to feelings of isolation.
We conducted a survey of 109 Canadian CEOs and conducted in-depth interviews with 46 of them, identifying effective strategies that leaders can utilize to combat loneliness.
The image of a lonely CEO, poring over financial reports in a high office, doesn't fully capture their experiences; leadership entails constant pressure and emotional strain.
