The leaders or directors of organizations are often older people. But some people say that young people can also be a leader, to what extent do you think?

It is true that many

leaders

and senior executives in global companies are elderly people.

as big-picture thinking and long-term vision.

This

is because years of work experience and failures teach them to take every aspect into consideration before making important decisions.

a lack of social experience, young

leaders

seem to make shortsighted decisions sometimes.
