==== Advantages (of hiring 60+ in important roles): ====
* Experience and wisdom: Older employees bring decades of experience and institutional knowledge to high-level decisions
* Stability and mentorship – seasoned leaders can mentor younger staff and may be less prone to rash decisions
* They may have established networks and credibility in the field that benefit the organization’s reputation and partnerships

Disadvantages:
* May limit opportunities for younger talent to rise (brain drain or frustration if youth feel blocked from leadership roles)
* Risk of outdated perspectives – older leaders might be less attuned to new technologies or changing market trends
* Could lead to lack of diversity in ideas; younger professionals often bring innovation, fresh skills, and modern approaches that are needed for growth
