How do you want to be seen by older peers/colleagues? Why is that important?

1. As Important

I want to have them see me as important to the growth of the company. When I sold my last company I was ousted. Since then, the company failed because they were unwilling to listen to someone 30 years younger. Take into consideration that younger people are important and just as crucial to a business, though they bring new ideas that might not resonate with older colleagues. – John RamptonJohnRampton.com
