Retirement is not an exit sign; it is a design brief. In this episode we unpack unretirement as a leadership strategy that preserves status, passes on clients and know-how, and keeps wisdom in motion.
We get specific on this topic with the founder and CEO of Next-Up, Victoria Tomlinson.
The Three R’s reporting idea—recruitment, retention, redundancy by age—forces visibility on who gets in, who stays, and who is shown the door. We tackle the tired myth that older professionals do not do tech and show how confidence and training change the story.
The payoff is the intergenerational dividend. Pair early, mid, and late-career talent, build flexible roles, and treat planning years in advance as normal practice rather than taboo.
