6 executives who make a point of leaving the office before dark

Working long hours has become a status symbol in the US.

Sometimes that example is set by a company's top executives, who are in the office from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., then sending emails until midnight.

But some execs are forging a different path, showing the importance of work-life balance by limiting their hours in the office. Below, find six execs who have spoken publicly about their commitment to leaving their desk at a reasonable hour.

True, most of these execs log on before and/or after they're physically in the office, but they value flexibility in terms of hours and location - not only for themselves, but also for their employees.
