Maintaining a healthy work-life balance can be tricky in today`s fast-paced corporate life. More so for women in leadership roles. The demands of high-stakes careers may often blur the boundaries between professional responsibilities and personal life. Known to traditionally accept their role as homemakers, it can often become difficult to do both, and that leads to them having to constantly prove themselves.
The relentless need to remain responsive and committed to work can sometimes overshadow crucial personal obligations and opportunities for leisure. While all women face the challenges of managing their home and roles at the office, just like any other corporate structure, the bigger the role, the bigger the responsibilities in the organisation. With more and more women taking up the roles of chief executive officers (CEOs) and other executive roles, they have had to step up and manage not only their work but also their life and homes. In the process, they have mastered the art of work-life balance and have been successfully doing it over the years.
