You've put into words perfectly my thoughts on it all too. Sustainability, self awareness, equilibrium - these are foundations of strength and resiliency over the long term. Technology went from empowerment to entrapment

That doesn't mean anything at the C level, the 6 months isn't his choice. They almost always transition out unless there is reputational damage involved, it's written into their contracts.
