Business Communication?

How do higher-rank business people (managers, senior managers, vice presidents etc) maintain their creativity, communication and listening skills while sleeping so little?

• It is similar to this question, but applied to a more general class of business people. Also, http://www.inc.com/geil-browning/personal-productivity-keep-your-brain-innovative-eight-ways.html Here is my thesis statement for this question: I think creativity and communication/listening skills are very important to managers and senior rank business persons. I think these skills are impaired if the person is sleep deprived. It is widely reported that most managers and senior rank business persons work a lot of hours, meaning that they do not sleep as much, which may lead to sleep deprivation. If my deduction is correct, then how do they maintain good creativity and communication skills? If my deduction is wrong, please correct me. Thanks.

• Answer:

  Myth 1: They sleep little. In fact most successful execs sleep reasonable amounts, and more importantly, they sleep and wake early. The ones that don't burn out in a few years. Myth 2: High rank execs are more creative. Not so. Most creativity comes from lower ranks, for which higher ranks take credit and shine their halos. But, yes, listening skills are selected for during promotions.
