Ever wondered just what it would be like to walk in the shoes of one of America’s top-notch tech CEOs for a day?  What would it be like, for instance, to wake up and be Steve Ballmer?  Or what about Mark Zuckerberg?  Think it’s a sweet life?  You’re probably right about that, and we won’t pretend you’re not — but there are some interesting similarities between the CEOs of the top 500 companies in America, despite all their eccentricities and differences.  If you’re wondering whether certain common traits might mean you’re eligible to become one of the world’s top future CEOs, read on.

There are, apparently, some striking ways in which the most powerful CEOs in America carry out their average working days.  For one thing, most of them wake up bright and early in the morning — at 6:15 am!  Now, that’s early.  Only teachers and day care workers get up earlier than that.  If you’re curious, you might check out Bloomberg Television on videoed, or catch up on the Wall Street Journal.  Also, check out the infographic below to see how many hours these CEOs put in a day, and all of this before an average 10:30 pm bedtime!
