It's lonely at the top is a phrase that's been around for a very long time.
This seems to have taken on new power recently, with the US Surgeon General warning about the impact that loneliness can have on us. It's as bad for us as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
So if it is lonely at the top, do we really want our leaders to be unhealthy? And what can we do about it?
Naim Maadad, CEO and founder of Gates Hospitality, sits down with 'the mentl space' to discuss getting to the top, the pressure of staying at the top, and the importance of empathy for those leading their organisations.
