It is interesting, I didn't read in his post that nupark2 said youth implies ignorance. But that is probably because you'd classify me as an old "curmudgeon" too. I totally agree that vitality, energy and fresh perspectives are important, but I have also been exposed to them being applied to the totally wrong thing. But I don't think that is an age thing really. I have experienced buffoons at every level of an organisation and at every age. I try to mix young and old, experience and fresh perspectives, energy and caution in my teams. Balance tends to work out well.
