| Welcome to the CEO Shortlist, a biweekly newsletter of our best ideas for the C-suite. This week, we examine what health means for CEOs and their employees. You can reach us with thoughts, ideas, and health tips at Alex_Panas@McKinsey.com and Axel_Karlsson@McKinsey.com. Thank you, as ever.

| Healthy leaders. Most CEOs got to where they are through a focused approach to hard work. But our latest research shows that personal health is more important than long hours. We asked more than 100 leaders of companies around the world about the daily routines that keep them effective in their roles. Six categories of mindsets and practices emerged. Staying healthy on these six dimensions is a prerequisite for high performance.
Healthy employees. Employee health means much more than physical safety in the workplace, says Lucy Pérez, McKinsey senior partner and global leader of the McKinsey Health Institute. Holistic health means mental, social, and emotional well-being. And, as with all kinds of health, prevention is key. Learn how to advocate for your employees—and yourself—in our latest article.
We hope you find these ideas novel and insightful. See you in a couple weeks with more McKinsey ideas for the CEO and others in the C-suite. | | |
