Why CEOs Die 5 Years Younger Than Everyone Else

from We Live to Build

The data is in, and it's terrifying. But why do CEOs die young? According to executive recruiting expert Darwin Shurig, C-level executives have a life expectancy five years less than the rest of us. In this high-stakes interview, Darwin reveals the crushing stress that leads to this reality, including the fact that seven Fortune 250 executives die of unexpected heart attacks every year. You'll learn why 70% of businesses fail within 10 years (hint: it's your talent), the massive financial cost of a single mishire, and how to avoid hiring a "talented cancer" that can destroy your company's culture.
