These days, businesses are thriving at a significant pace, and generally, older people can be leaders or directors for those. However, some people argue that youngsters can also substitute for older leaders. Personally, I staunchly believe that with some help and their knowledge, they may replace the role of older directors with ease.
There are several justifying grounds to support the idea that young generations may have the potential to be directors, even of enormous companies. First and foremost, younger people, who are probably digital natives in most respects, could have indispensable skills for that job, like having high computer literacy. Because many occupations are closely connected to cutting-edge technologies—3D printers, visual monitors, and others—in our current fast-paced world, younger people are highly likely to be valued, taking the lead position eventually. However, this is not the only reason for this phenomenon.
Another primary ground for the possibility of giving the role of directors or leaders to young generations is that there are a sheet of unprecedented trainings nowadays in an effort to facilitate such young people to acquire crucial skills. Although gaining enough experience can be quite inappropriate due to their relatively younger ages, they may gain vital knowledge by special training and attend weekly workshops, meaning regardless of age, they can obtain the skills—skills that are significant for being leaders or directors—and be the chief executive of the organizations. For example, our local head of the Youth Agency, who recently turned 25, is employing thousands of workers. He has experienced some international training and been active during every workshop or masterclass related to his discipline, which, in turn, provided him with enough experience and knowledge for the role of leadership. Therefore, being a leader even at a younger age is feasible.
In conclusion, even though many directors of big companies and organizations are older people nowadays, these occupations can be replaced by younger generations since they can have ample literacy at computers and consolidate the skills, which are important for being a leader, with the help of certain trainings and workshops.
