"
The paths of glory lead but to the
grave" Thomas Gray (1716-71)
Executives who die "in the
Chair"
Two of the greatest Chairman I had pleasure
to work with, died suddenly and unexpectedly. Each man seemed to be reasonably fit at the
time. Neither was overweight and each played some sport on the weekend.
Each was "in the Chair" on the
Friday. Each "dropped dead" on the weekend.
In a similar way, a wonderful Rotarian and
colleague, who was CEO of his own Company and regular sportsman, died suddenly
on
Christmas day 2003.
In each case, the loss to family, friends,
work colleagues and society was heavy. In each case the man was a great leader; a
man who inspired others.
Why did they die and what changes could have
been made to optimise and preserve their health?
