However, despite gain-ing traction, studies on the relevant phenomena (e.g., marriage, divorce, parenthood, illness) remain scattered in parallel across disciplines. We thematically review the interdisciplinary evidence on the fast-emerging liter-ature on CEO private life events (72 unique studies) to consolidate our understanding of how private life events can become reflected in the professional domains of CEO influence. Through this approach, we comprehen-sively intersect empirical progress on CEO life events with key strategic leadership outcomes (i.e., performance, strategy, socio-ethical issues, innovation, governance), allowing us to identify key gaps and highlight inconsis-tencies. We then propose several research opportunities and challenges to move the field from phenomenon -driven standalone studies to a more coherent research program on the blurred boundaries between the private and professional lives of CEOs. 收起
