What leaders can do if they feel lonely at the top

Faced with the unenviable task of assigning some
employees to different teams, physically moving some
workers, and demoting a personal friend of the boss’
family, one executive turned to Dr. Judith Davis,
psychologist, coach, and president of a consulting
firm in Long Island, N.Y.

Dr. Davis, who avoided getting too specific about the
aforementioned real-life situation, said the executive
in question felt there was one in the company — whether her boss, employees, or peers — with whom she could discuss the issues.
