Maximizing Senior Leader Health and Wellbeing: Physiological Changes in Midlife - Chapter 2

Abstract

In Chapter 1, Hosie, Meredith, and Almeida defined the concept of midlife as the period between the ages of forty and sixty-five. This midlife period is when most senior leaders tend to move into more mentally demanding positions and, as a result, become increasingly sedentary while working longer hours. Unfortunately, changes in work and family environments commonly experienced in midlife can exacerbate physiological challenges and decline. Since senior leaders hold critical billets within their respective services, they should adopt health and wellbeing practices to maximize their performance in support of the success of their units, agencies, and/or staffs.
