"But when Ko broke down wellness metrics, from if leaders felt anxious or depressed to mentally present at work, the results were starkly different: 48% of respondents reported being overwhelmed, and a quarter said they were feeling anxiety or depression. Moreover, 34% said they were mentally drained, and 40% reported being unable to be mentally present on the job. Half of the survey participants said they thought of stepping down from their positions."
"The CEO of Calm, the world's top sleep and meditation app, said business leaders are losing sleep, feeling drained, and contemplating quitting their jobs. But when asked how they are, they say they're doing just fine.

"Most people said that they were doing good,""
Survey responses from over 250 C-suite executives reveal a mismatch between self-reported wellbeing and measured wellness metrics. Nearly half of executives reported feeling overwhelmed and one quarter reported anxiety or depression. More than a third said they felt mentally drained, and 40% reported being unable to be mentally present at work. Half of respondents had considered stepping down. Only one in four executives described their energy as fully recharged, with many leaders operating at about 20% capacity. Burnout raises sick days, absenteeism, turnover, and can cost employers thousands per worker and over $20,000 per executive.
