The research showed that CEOs work long hours, including during vacations and on weekends: an average of 9.7 hours per weekday, with nearly four more hours on weekends and 2.4 hours on vacation.

According to the study, CEOs have an average of 37 meetings each week, accounting for 72 percent of their work time.
