I wonder if these superhero CEOs would be willing to be scientifically tracked for a few months to see how well they really perform. Because what is described is either a bunch of lies or something pretty amazing. I&#x27;ve never met anyone that could function like this for sustained periods and be useful in any way.<p>The slightly more honest ones  might be conflating a weeks of effort to a single day. This is the kind of &quot;white lie&quot; I could almost see myself doing (but not to this extreme). So perhaps one day this week they got up at 4:30. Or perhaps twice this week they did a navy seal workout. But in their reporting this is all a &quot;normal day&quot;.<p>Or, since appearence is everything these days maybe they are just saying what they think they need to say. Results don&#x27;t matter, it&#x27;s how much effort you appear to be putting in. This is what is valued. CEOs need to appear like they are valuable. Imagine the CEO that was honest and said &quot;I get up at 9:00am and relax with coffee and a newspaper while I get ready for the day.&quot; People would deride them. So like all people who make it to the top they play the part, and lie.
