4. Key Quote Executive healthis not simply a personal issue; it has collective consequences for all members of any organization who depend upon the strength, experience, skills, and insights of its leaders… One strong, healthy executive in a key organizational position can serve as a primary prevention agent for tens, hundreds, and even thousands of employees who serve under his or her wing. Therefore, the interests of the organization as well as its individual executives are served well by the preventive health management of its executive cadre. (Quick et al., 2002; pp. 41-42)
