At least this doesn't happen with the younger members of the workforce. No 19 year olds are considering the true meaning of life or reflecting on the role of their past choices on company performance. They are thinking about sex.
Party hearty! 50 is as good a reason to celebrate as one ever gets. (I myself couldn't, because my mother was dying. And damnit, I couldn't celebrate my 60th because of Covid).
'But authenticity on an earnings call is not rewarded in markets.' Is it worth selling your soul to the company store? Welcome to the big 50. Glad you're taking it like a man.
If you found a CEO of a publicly traded company with the powers to reflect on their existential state and what truly matters in life, I'd keep 'em and promote them no matter what number their age ends with. Many CEOs are obsessed with their past, present and future achievements and have heads full of fantasies and fictional narratives of what void will be filled by the wealth and power they have obtained through backstabbing and throat cutting necessary to get the top job. If there is an outlier that achieves inner clarity I'd keep them or promote them to Chairmen in a mentoring role. Chances are if they got that clarity they'd resign.

Thank you, sir. I am definitely taking it like a man. Whining about everything 😂
