Episode description
Episode #242 // The question we used to ask only occasionally has now become more frequent… “how old is too old?” While most countries still regard the retirement age for the average citizen to be somewhere in their early to mid-60s, one of the big societal trends in wealthier countries is the aging population.
As the population ages, many people will choose to work for longer, either to satisfy their need for purpose, or through financial necessity. The bottom line for leaders is that you’re going to be in a position where you have to lead older workers, and integrate them into a team culture that spans at least three generations.
In this episode, I explore how to get the best from older workers, not to be put off by the challenge of leading them.
I present some of the data on how population and demographics are changing across the world, I examine the strategic potential for value differentiation, and I give you my Six Tips for Getting the Most From Older Workers (which will be available as a free PDF downloadable).
