What can we do….as an Organisation?
MBA’s & Executive Development
If eldership is formed in the cradle of eldership seek ways to get eldership as a module on MBA programmes, and leadership and executive development programmes.
Leadership model
most leadership models end with leadership, whereas the best leadership models end with the aspiration and movement towards eldership
Embed mentoring
Embed mentoring into the who organisation for everyone form new arrivals to senior executives. Make it part of the culture. Make it the norm and inspire people to keep on doing it after they leave or retire.
Bring back the retired
Invited retired employees back as mentors and as special advisors for particular issues and as ongoing practice.
Invest
Invest in elder awareness for Non Executive Directors and Senior Advisors
Run pre retirement workshops
Run pre- retirement from 50 years old onwards to embed the understanding and practice of eldership so that it is a habit when people retire from work life
Honour role models
Leaders to find opportunities to spot, to honour and to recognise the people who are elders around the organisation. Name them and name their qualities.
