Key Points

Many more of us, and potentially a majority of our children, will live to be 100 or more
Organizations (and society) still tend to frame our lives in three stages: education, work, retirement
Transitions now happen more often for us and are less likely to be in lock-step with our peers
The problem with transition: the people who know you best don’t want you to change
Navigating more transitions in life means that we need to have networks with people who are not like us
Truth is essential in leadership
