A strong link between poor leadership and the risk of serious heart disease

Via the BBC, the Swedes are linking leadership to health and ultimately, mortality. Its certainly an interesting way to look again at the famed 'work life balance'!

Inconsiderate bosses not only make work stressful, they may also increase the risk of heart disease for their employees, experts believe.

A Swedish team found a strong link between poor leadership and the risk of serious heart disease and heart attacks among more than 3,000 employed men.

And the effect may be cumulative - the risk went up the longer an employee worked for the same company.

The study is published in Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
