Older vs. younger
leaders
Today in 21st century, there are more opportunities are for
youngsters but some people say it would be best to offer high position
authorities to elders since old people have much life experience and enough
knowledge to deal with complex situations happening in the different parts of
the country. Also they have great sense
of taking responsibilities. While others say youth have the equal right to do
any job or can lead others. However, it does not prove that young people can’t
be a good leader to handle challenges in their work because there are countries
where young population dominates. Also young people are believed to be more
deserving since they have knowledge, skills, creativity and courage that can
contribute to the country’s growth.
I strongly believe the successful leader is the one
regardless of age who focus on personal consequences of the taken decisions and
take actions accordingly in favor of achieving goals. Hence individuals can be
chosen beyond their age, it doesn’t guaranteed success or failure, although the
experience can diminish the risk of plan or policy’s unsuccessful. Better to
take all points into considerations including potential, passion, competency,
character, track record, leadership experience, heart, intelligence and other
such.
