People with Big Heads Are Destined to Be CEOs

You know you’ve been there, you walk into a room, and you think, “Damn, that person’s got a humongous head… they must be in charge!” As of 2025, science is now agreeing with your gut. Some eyebrow-raising (if weirdly plausible) studies show that people with larger heads might have been genetically wired for corner offices, high-stakes deals, and expensive coffee machines. I should clarify that we’re not discussing puffed-up egos (though that’s also a given for prep-speak). We mean head size, from forehead to nape, temple to temple. Oh, and by the way, if you’re thinking about how big your dome is right now, the bigger your noggin, the greater your likelihood of running the boardroom.

Researchers who studied the human brain-to-ambition ratio (we just invented that ratio, but it is clickbait worthy, so run with it) said those with bigger skulls can also have a greater cognitive capacity, attention span, and strangely intense affinity for Excel columns. That extra cranial real estate is space for high-level thinking, long-term strategizing, and 147 different login passwords.

Those years of taunting as a child about having a “bobblehead” or being “lightbulb” were early signs of greatness. Who’s laughing now? (Answer: You, while you sip champagne in your corner office.) People with big heads are signing corporate paychecks for a few reasons:

They Think Bigger – Indeed, that cavernous head has an opulent amount of mental real estate. Big-headed people are likely to see the big picture, suitable for running teams or companies, or deciding whether the new logo should be eggshell or bone white.

They’re Wearing Bigger Hats – Offered point-blank and face-slappingly across the chin to all who answer to the title of CEO: You’re serving in a position that requires you to wear the hats of: leader, visionary, coffee maker, HR therapist, and part-time tech support. With a big head, there’s space for all those metaphorical hats and a stylish fitted cap.

They Can Handle the Pressure – A larger head means a greater capacity to tolerate extreme stress environments. Whether steering through market crashes or discovering the intern uploaded the company’s Twitter with memes, these are the ones who can keep it chill (or at least fake it until the PR team shows up).

They Pulled Opportunities To Themselves Like A Magnet – If all was lining up and things began to flow, it took me Launch to break into the black, and up around the world I went.

So, according to the science we all believe, having a big head creates a gravitational pull for business opportunities. It’s either that or the innate confidence produced by a large forehead that shouts, “I know things.” Consider the C.E.O.s you know, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Oprah Winfrey. Coincidence? Or does their head-to-body ratio speak more than we believe? Forget checking out the shoes or the handshake, the next time you are networking at a business brunch, keep an eye on the circumference. If a person walks in and their head walks in five seconds before the rest of them walk in, it’s something to remember.” You’re likely in the presence of a future Fortune 500 mogul. Respect the radius.

And don’t fret if you aren’t in the big-head club. There are plenty of CEOs who succeed in companies of all sizes. Some have just got great vision and determination (and secretly, probably, wear padded helmet liners for inspiration). But if you’ve always felt self-conscious about your head, guess what? 2025 is your year. Begin rehearsing your TED Talk voice and tell your assistant to only serve you sparkling water from the Alps. You’ve earned it.

In the new era of head-size enlightenment, we have this to tell you: Own your dome. It’s not just holding your brain; it’s holding your destiny. So next time someone tells you you’ve got a pretty big head on you, you give a wise nod, fix your executive suit-fat cat collar AND SAY, “YUP. I was just born to be a leader.” Whether gauging head size with a tape measure or sizing up the office alpha energy, the fact is obvious: Big heads mean big business.

In the ongoing story of Antonio Brown, the former NFL star wide receiver took to Twitter once again, not with a flashy video or an odd comment, but with a surprisingly heartfelt message that he claims is from Tom Brady. Brown, who is no stranger to attention, shared a screenshot of what seems to be a direct message from Brady. Their relationship, which once thrived during their successful time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, appears to have soured over the past few years. However, this recent exchange gives a glimpse of the bond they once shared, which is a mix of respect, concern, and camaraderie.

Brady reportedly told Brown in the message, “You are truly one of a kind! So proud of you.” This alone would have caught people’s attention, especially considering how distant their relationship seemed after Brown’s controversial departure from the NFL. But Brady went on to offer more personal advice. “Please don’t miss your psychologist appointments,” he wrote. He added, “You’ve got the physical part down, and you’re very smart, but we all need to work on our emotions.” These words come off as caring, almost like a mentor checking in on a friend. Brown captioned the post with a casual, “Please don’t miss Psychologist appointments…. WTF,” which felt more dismissive than appreciative. It’s hard to tell if he was joking, being sarcastic, or just acting like himself, but it certainly grabbed attention.

What stands out here is the fact that Brown chose to share what was said publicly. He has faced criticism for revealing private messages in the past, and this moment adds another chapter to his unpredictable reputation. In a sports world typically filled with bravado and impressive stats, seeing someone show vulnerability or offer emotional support in such a public way is rare. Whether you view Brown’s actions as a betrayal or just another attention-seeking moment, Tom Brady’s concern came from a genuine place of care. What Brown decides to do with that concern remains to be seen.
