You are Rachel Adeyemi, Chief People Officer at Halden Logistics. Fatigue-driven errors are rising and the executive culture treats exhaustion as commitment.
Halden runs around the clock, and a culture of always-on availability has spread from operations to the leadership team. Executives boast of four-hour nights, answer messages at 3am, and model relentless presence. Meanwhile near-miss safety incidents, poor decisions, and sick leave are climbing, and an engagement survey flags exhaustion and irritability at senior levels. The CEO privately sleeps badly but publicly praises stamina. You suspect chronic sleep deprivation is silently eroding judgment, wellbeing, and safety across the very leaders setting the tone.
You decide how to tackle chronic sleep loss quietly degrading your leadership team's performance and safety.
