I was involved in many business ventures over the years. In each case, I was the youngest member among the management team. I had a partner in the real estate business who was much older. When I became the general manager of an 1,800 salesperson real estate company, I was younger than most people who reported to me.
The time came, however, when the roles were reversed and I was suddenly the oldest. It has been an interesting transformation and a new learning opportunity for me.
One of the most glaring examples was when a I became a crew member aboard a 70′ sailboat racing the length of Lake Michigan from Chicago to Mackinac Island. I was 65 and the other twelve sailors averaged 24 years old.
I’ve had great fun as the youngest and the oldest. Enjoy the ride!
