FWIW I have known Vice Presidents with this problem. Their entire notion of self worth was wrapped up in their job performance and what people said of them. People internalize their value in different ways, some are more resilient than others. Having something that you can be passionate about and good at outside your job has been shown to help resiliency. That's a good thing for anyone's mental health I suspect.
