Sparks: Working for a Younger Leader: Should It Bother You?
Manage episode 433256968 series 84737
We often hear the famous words "age doesn't matter,” but it’s not really an easy thing to accept in the context of leadership. In today's Leadership Spark, we’ll tackle this common concern: the unease of working under a leader who's younger than you. It's a frequent issue because we often equate age with experience. The situation becomes particularly challenging if the younger leader lacks the necessary skills. A younger leader who is adept, knowledgeable, and capable of motivating and challenging their team should be respected regardless of their age. Leadership effectiveness is about skill, vision, and interpersonal abilities, not the number of years one has lived. I explain why we should focus on these qualities rather than age.
