He's Too Old - She's Too Young


You may be surprised to discover that age rarely matters when the brain’s in shape. Some say that Mother Teresa was too old to take entrepreneurial risks that improved life’s chances for the poor. Others claimed Bill Gates was far too young to lead the computer world into a new era. How does age rate where you wbrainbike.jpgork?

New information from neuroscience is changing our minds about mental maturity.

When it comes to the brain at work … age limitations could never be farther from the facts. So why then do we encounter so many bumps and barriers created by age in most organizations. Too young or too old? We hear wicked stories daily about disadvantages of both youth and elderly.

Increasingly, neuroscience discoveries are changing the way age influences success and adds satisfaction at work. How so?

1. Memory’s more of a choice to those who deliberately hardwire for intelligence.
2. Men and women differ in how they keep their brains alive at work.
3. Commonly held myths will limit youth and seniors who believe them.
4. Brain based firms benefit as they refuse to sideline workers based on age.
5. What’s tagged as age limitations … is often a matter of mood swing problems.

Just as there are brilliant cases to be built for hiring a younger worker … there are compelling reasons to cultivate mentally alert senior staff.

Limitation comes far less from age ... than from human brains that wire daily against growth. So why do many firms hold fast to the  adage … They’ll never change so let the old socks be.

Here are a few awesome tricks to get your brain grooving again at any age. What mental gymnastics would awaken your talents at work today?
