People under 40 should NOT hold leadership positions in a company. What leadership or life experience could someone have at 35-40?🤷🏾♂️. It’s that age group who’s prone to letting authority go to their head. #ISaidWhatISaid
I’m going to spotlight a few responses:
Monica Regina Jones: But bro I have known ppl that were in their 50s and older who have let leadership positions go to their heads also. It's not really about age. It's about character and maturity. Trust me, I literally know ppl that are younger than me that have both. I also know ppl older than me that lack both.
Interpretation: I see where she’s coming from because it’s 40+ people that are terrible leaders, but they play politics to get in authority. This usually stems from toxic management who hires those like them.
Lorraine London: My husband was dorm chief at the age of 18 in the air force. He was over men twice his age. Now he’s a police major in a very large department. He’s been tapped to be police chief twice and turned it down, twice. Too political he says, and he’s nobodies do boy. Some people have natural leadership abilities. Age isn’t necessarily a factor in that. It’s character, mental maturity and intelligence.
Response: This seems to be common in the military, groom young servicemen for leadership until retirement. Like Ms. Lorraine said, it’s character, mental maturity & intelligence. I stand corrected because you have young leaders who have been groomed right: They’ve sat under seasoned leaders with good character, intelligence & maturity so it’s natural for them to emulate that.
