In Kaitlyn ho’s blog, Lonely Millionaires, she pointed out that many leaders, in fact, feel isolated and conflicted when it comes to personal relationships in the workplace. We often speak about all the perks of having a leadership position: money, recognition, experience, and an outstanding résumé. However, we never stop and think about how difficult it is to maintain that role and how the pressure might affect the leader’s personal and professional life.

Katy’s post mentioned the fact that leaders do not really have anyone to turn to when times get tough and you’re facing a challenge. It’s a interesting topic and a novel perspective. However, I could understand that it would be difficult to manage the power imbalance in a group of friends and thus, you’d be lonely as a leader. But i don’t think a successful leader couldn’t find anyone when they feel sad or stressful. They have their own social circle and everyone has friends can understand each other.

Learning to manage pressure is a basic skill for everyone. Not being loneliness It’s their own job not others. Motivating employees is a important job for leaders. But the reason why is leaders want to achieve the goal of eliminating the cost of human resources. Motivating employees is not what they should do, but it is what they want to do. Similarly, being happy is none of others business. Even for the managers, what they should do is try to adjust themselves and they are actually the only people care about themselves.

All in all, we all want to get rid of the loneliness. Maybe for the top people, they are more easily to be lonely due to the level. But that is their responsibility to adjust themselves, it just like why they enjoys the happiness about power.
