How Does Age Affect Leadership

Age can affect leadership in both positive and negative ways and in this episode, Julie takes a look at some of the potential ups and downs for those with life experience in leadership roles Experience can be positive if it has been part of a learning journey through life, and maturity can bring perspective and problem solving skills but experience can also result in individuals becoming resistant to any change, as Julie explains ultimately it’s all about balance KEY TAKEAWAYS Promotion has to be about the best person for the job not the amount of time someone has been in an organisation As people age, they typically gain more experience and this can be a positive in leadership With age comes greater maturity and perspective which can be valuable assets With experience comes the risk of being entrenched in certain ways with resistance to any change It’s important to balance experience with other elements BEST MOMENTS ‘Ultimately everything is in balance’ ‘Age is not the only factor that determines the effectiveness of a leader’ ‘An experienced person may be able to mentor and guide others in their field’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Life-Changing Magic of Setting Goals book by Julie Hogbin The Authorities - Julie Hogbin: Powerful Wisdom from Leaders in the field book by Julie Hogbin, Raymond Aaron, Marci Shimoff, Dr John Gray Stress The Reality by Julie Hogbin ABOUT THE HOST Julie Hogbin I started my career within the accountancy profession, moving on into auditing, then Learning & Development where I have spent over 30 years.

I work with the human element of Business and my passion is enabling others to be the best they can be through providing them with the information they need to be more effective than they currently are. Unleashing potential and providing knowledge enables the best decisions to be made for the Business, the Employee, the Leader (themselves), their families and the greater social economy.
