How Coaching Leads Your Business to Success Blog, Executive Coaching
If you’re an executive leader, you don’t need anyone telling you how busy you are. You embody that demanding role every day, even on vacation. Yet sometimes it’s good to look at the facts —to get a clearer picture of where and how you spend your time. Not to mention where and how other executives spend their time. Let’s take a look. A Harvard study paints a clear picture of the executive leader’s rigorous role. They found that leaders worked 9.7 hours per workday on average, and conducted business on 79% of their weekend days, for an average of 3.9 hours a day. This work extends into vacation, where leaders were found to work on 70% of their vacation days for 2.4 hours a day, on average. Looking at the numbers, it’s clear that the executive’s job is unabated. All together the average CEO worked 62.5 hours a week.
