Episode #91 // We're constantly receiving questions from listeners about leading when there is a significant age difference. And this can flow in both directions.In this episode, we look at what to do with an older person in your team who reports to you, and is difficult to manage. We also consider the case of working for an older leader who uses bullying, intimidation, and control as their primary means of achieving outcomes.Either way, as a leader you are going to have to work out how to deal with these difficult scenarios: they are surprisingly common.Sometimes, what we perceive as an age issue is actually something else and if, as leaders, we can strip aside the stereotypes and deal with the behaviours that challenge our effectiveness, it gives us much more control than just believing it’s “an age thing”.
