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 aged 35 and the other is 63. Who would you choose: the dynamism and energy of youth, or the understanding and wisdom of maturity?
