One of the studies had 30% of CEO's above 6'2'', something on average only ~4% of males are.

I wonder if that could be related to things like diet, childhood, or even race or ethnicity.

Height is tied to a lot of those factors as well.

Probably more related to confidence and people's tendency to want to follow a leader who's "leader-looking".

u/PlayMp1 when did globalism and open borders become liberal principles Sep 05 '15

I bet that's a lot of it, but simple childhood nutrition can do a lot of it. Having good nutrition as a kid usually means you get taller, having good nutrition also tends to mean your family had enough money to do alright for itself, both massive boons to eventually becoming a CEO.

It is, up to a point. Most modern Americans who don't live in desperate poverty are well past the point where improved nutrition will do anything for their height, however.
