When faced with criticism, leaders usually utter some version of the same cliché: “complain all you want, but the view is pretty different when you’re in power.”

Presidents say it about the Oval Office. CEOs say it about the corner office. Shareholders say it about the boardroom.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown, and so on…

But is the view really that different, depending on where you sit?
