    There have been studies showing that bosses tend to be larger (both height and weight) than average, with the trend increasing as you go up the ladder.

    US Presidents are typically tall too.

      The weight part has me concerned about 2024…

        I’m short and have a pretty high voice (been told I sound lile a child on more than one occasion). Every job I’ve had to work so much harder than everyone else to get ahead. Fortunately for me the field I’m in performance is based off of metrics that I excel at so I pretty much out perform everyone else by default and that has gotten me noticed and keeps me high on the list when promotions or raises come up. I still get talked over in meetings all the time if I don’t have a more authoritative person to back me up when I have something to say though.

      How tall are Mark Zuckerberg or Jeff Bezos?

        Looks like they’re below average (both 5’7"). Then again, I guess they started their own companies in their garages, so there wasn’t an opportunity for selection bias when hiring them.
