The Times warns that half of CEOs find the role "intensely lonely" - drawing on research from "The Secrets of CEOs"

Carol Lewis of The Times today draws on research from The Secrets of CEOs to warn that, "You need to be sure you really want [to be a CEO]. About half of the 150 chief executive officers that were interviewed for the book The Secrets of CEOs said that they found the role “intensely lonely,” that the hours were long and that the responsibilities were huge, with international travel playing havoc with any social life that they might have had. More than half of those interviewed said they had little time for family or personal interests and passions." http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/movers_and_shakers/executive_movers/article4855530.ece
