In this episode of The Work Wire, Bob Goodwin and Johnny Taylor Jr. discuss whether there is ever an age where age starts to become a legitimate factor in one's job or career. They explore recent examples like Senator Dianne Feinstein stepping down at age 90 and a 96-year-old federal judge being suspended due to concerns about her mental competence.
Johnny argues against making assumptions based purely on age, citing examples of high-performing older individuals like Warren Buffett. However, he acknowledges that certain roles requiring strong mental acuity, like judges, could benefit from cognitive evaluations to ensure safety and competence. Bob and Johnny debate the idea of implementing standardized cognitive tests for roles like the President. They agree tests should start earlier to avoid ageism but ensure those in positions of power can still perform mentally and physically demanding jobs. This insightful conversation tackles the complex issue of aging, ability, and when it's appropriate to reconsider someone's role.
