Why Work-Life Harmony Matters in Leadership

Leaders stepping up to the helm of a company can have an atmosphere of dynamism, unwavering commitment and success; however, it isn’t just about the victories. Behind powerful leadership decisions and insightful strategies, there’s often a human story, one that’s deeply personal and seldom spoken about. A CEO (or any C-suite leader) is a human being first. In their personal lives, they will likely experience the joys and triumphs of living, as well as setbacks and occasional bumps in the…
