Nearly half of female executives are burned out — and the companies they lead are paying for it.

According to McKinsey & Company’s 2024 “Women in the Workplace” report, 43% of female executives experience burnout, compared with 31% of their male counterparts. A Gallup study published in March 2026 found the gap between women and men in leadership has held steady at 10 percentage points over four years, with no sign of narrowing.
