Comment Applied to CxOs (Score 1) 861
Hmm....let's apply this thinking to CEOs:
Younger folks have more stamina, so they could go 14-16 hours a day:
1. Attending back-to-back excruciatingly boring meetings.
2. Writing memos.
3. Making phone calls.
4. Going to press conferences.
5. Traveling.
6. Catching up on random things on the weekend.
7. Shmoozing clients by taking them to the golf course, dinner, sports outings, etc..
8. Anything else...
The older guys just won't be able to keep up with the younger set on this, and they "cut their teeth " on "old" methods of human interaction and business practices. After all, it's a different world now from what it was back when those older guys were in their twenties, isn't it?
So, does that mean older CxO's should be fired and those positions given to any old uni grad who took business and happens to show some promise?
