CEOs lead physically punishing lives, often starting their day early, juggling multiple responsibilities, and maintaining high energy levels. They prioritize projecting energy and managing impressions, as illustrated by the CEO of GSK. The drain of constant meetings and interactions, both internally and with external stakeholders, takes a toll on their energy. Research shows that 70% of a CEO's time is spent interacting with others, making it particularly challenging for introverts.
