The obsolescent CEO

Adrian Furnham

A chapter in The Talented Manager, 2012, pp 161-163 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Here’s a hypothetical question: you are asked to vote for a new CEO. There are two final candidates, and they are surprisingly similar. They have near-identical educational qualifications, personality traits and values. They seem equally bright. But one is 35 and the other is 63 years old. Which would you choose? The dynamism and energy of youth, or the understanding and wisdom of maturity?
