He shares the challenges and lack of resources available to effectively help executives with emerging behavioral health problems. And he explores how having an open discussion about mental illness at the executive level can lessen the stigma behind the condition and make treatment possible.

Loyal staff, fearful of exposing the executive’s weaknesses as well as their careers, may cover up problems related to work deficits, unreliability, or inappropriate behavior. Those the executive reports to may similarly be flummoxed. As a result, no one addresses the issue, leaving the executive to operate in a vacuum without any support.

Thankfully, there are steps that can help. First, identify your primary concerns, write them down, review them, and if the situation is not urgent, let them sit.
