Management of Health Assets: Are Top Executives Up to It?

Frank Bournois and Sylvie Roussillon

Chapter 20 in Handbook of Top Management Teams, 2010, pp 200-206 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The functions of top executives expose them daily to great pressure, which can be a significant source of stress with the added risk of psychosomatic reactions or various illnesses typical of such situations. With their working hours, the burden of decision, complexity of issues and frequent long-distance travel, top executives form a very vulnerable section of society. Yet, much more than other people, they cannot afford the luxury of physical breakdown or repeated absences, which could have serious consequences for the company.
