Some of the biggest companies in the world are right here in the U.S., and although they all sell different products, they still have one thing in common: They’re led by men from Generation X and above. In fact, over the past decade, the number of CEOs ages 65 to 69 nearly doubled according to USA Today.
When examining generational diversity in workplace leadership roles, there’s a clear discrepancy across fields of occupations. In some companies like American Airlines, it seems nearly impossible to assume leadership roles under a certain age, seeing that nearly half of their employees are over 50 years old.
