Leading Older People

4 in 10 US employees work for a younger boss and it's been said that in many industries and professions 30 is the new 50. If you find yourself in a situation where you lead significantly older (or more experienced) people then thoughts and worries such as "What if they don't respect me?", "I think I look too young", or "They don't take me seriously" may have crossed your mind. I've been there myself and I found it challenging.  And I know I'm not alone. In fact, leading older people has come up numerous times in coaching conversations and is currently top of mind for two of my clients which is why I decided to talk about it here on the podcast. Because one thing is for sure, nothing about your age is a predeterminant of your success as a leader! -- RESOURCES MENTIONED -- Contact Ramona at [email protected] Schedule a call with Ramona: http://www.ramonashaw.com/apply Connect with Ramona on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ramona.shaw.leadership Connect with Ramona on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ramona-shaw Grab your copy of Ramona's best-selling new book 'The Confident & Competent New Manager: How to Rapidly Rise to Success in Your First Leadership Role': https://amzn.to/3TuOdcP If this episode inspired you in some way, take a screenshot of you listening on your device and post it to your Instagram Stories, and tag me @ramona.shaw.leadership or DM me on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/ramona-shaw/ Are you in your first manager role and don't want to mess it up?
