Fluid vs. Crystallized Intelligence
- Fluid intelligence peaks before 40, then declines, causing burnout as tasks become harder.
- Crystallized intelligence grows with age, focusing on teaching and mentoring, enabling success in new leadership roles.
Lead By Teaching and Mentoring
- Shift from being an autonomous problem solver to a teaching leader as you age.
- Mentor and cultivate younger talent while embracing your growing crystallized intelligence.
