I used to carry the same views regarding older people in leadership positions. However I don’t think age is really the problem it’s willingness to adapt. And I believe you are more likely to fear change if you are older, it’s not universal but it appears to be more likely. The leader of my organization is in his seventies and has deep knowledge and understanding of his field but he is humble enough to yield when he is not the expert and he leans on the people that are. But I guess what I’m really talking about is leadership, and just because you are older doesn’t mean you are a good leader.
