The Power of Elder Leadership

Guiding the Path to Wisdom at Work

Experience, like fine wine, gets better with time. Are we harnessing the full potential of elder leadership in our workplaces?
Here are some perspectives to consider:

👁️‍🗨️ Vision: Elder leaders bring decades of insights and a broader perspective. Their vision is not just for now, but for the long-term sustainability of the organization.
🤝 Strategy: Wise leaders excel in strategic thinking. They've seen trends come and go, and their ability to navigate complex challenges is unparalleled.
💡 Innovation: Contrary to stereotypes, elder leaders can be innovation catalysts. Their wisdom helps bridge the generation gap and fosters innovation that stands the test of time.
🌍 Collaboration: Elders often excel in collaboration. They understand the value of diverse teams and can mediate conflicts with grace.

As Barbara Waxman shares in her book - The Middlescence Manifesto: Igniting the Passion of Midlife - "Ageism devalues one of our most important resources— people with experience, knowledge, vitality and the courage to create change."

Let's challenge ageism and unlock the untapped potential of elder leadership! Embrace their wisdom to drive your organisation forward.

I'd love to know how you are championing the elder voices in your organisation?
