I think to a certain extent that shows the problems with the 7-day-a-week mentality for anyone who is working on product direction, marketing, etc. If I've got someone working on keeping my servers up, or doing deep parallel algorithms work to solve a specific problem my company has, I want the person who has the tunnel vision required to focus for 14 hours.
But if I've got someone deciding which specific problems are most worthy of concern, I want someone who is going home at night and on the weekends and living life. Working on one thing for most of your waking hours makes it really difficult to understand how that thing is useful outside of your domain.
