Fascinating article. Key insights: -When organizations push experienced workers out early, they forfeit peak judgment, execution capability and mentoring capacity. -More recent research from AARP and the OECD shows that firms with more 50-plus workers are more productive, not less: a 10-percentage-point increase in older workers is associated with roughly 1.1 percent higher productivity.  -In the U.S., analysis by the Urban Institute of survey data of older workers from 1992 to 2016 showed that more than half above the age of 50 were pushed out of long-held jobs before they chose to retire, often through layoffs or restructuring rather than performance issues. https://lnkd.in/eP9pcz54

Reframing "pause" not as inaction, but as a leadership skill. This isn't a feel-good session; it's an opportunity to settle into deep thinking about your career, the career equity you have built or are building, and how to navigate life's beautiful surprises, be it caregiving responsibilities, a health crisis, a corporate restructuring, an identity shift, or even self-termination or severance. You will leave with practical tools and a proactive plan to set you up for success when facing real-life opportunities and setbacks. There is power in the pause.

Series Blog #10: Five-Minute Mastery: Strategic Assessment Tools for Executive Clarity In high-growth mid-market environments, the greatest enemy isn't competition—it's inertia. The speed at which strategic threats emerge and opportunities vanish mandates an evolution in diagnostic approach. Traditional, protracted strategic review cycles often produce brilliant maps of territories that no longer exist. Max DePree, Former CEO of Herman Miller and Author, said: "The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant." Caring for your organization means consistently and quickly ensuring its strategic health. Research from McKinsey & Company found that organizations making high-quality strategic decisions quickly significantly outperform their slower rivals. Companies that excel at decision-making achieve both faster decisions and better outcomes, with quality and speed strongly associated with overall company performance. General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Former U.S. President and Supreme Allied Commander, observed: "Plans are nothing; planning is everything." The discipline of regular assessment—no matter how brief—keeps leaders prepared and responsive. Excerpts From:
