YES

Young leaders who have been well educated are more likely to have a deeper understanding of cultural difference, and they can empathize with other employees and clients much better. Today, empathy plays a key role in retention of talents.

Compared with the senior leaders, young directors can apply the latest technology and theory into practice, and this can counteract negative stereotype of management and greatly improve productivity.
A distinct merit emerging from youngsters working on such positions is the improvement of government efficiency. Admittedly, a majority of governmental agencies are thirsty for high-efficiency operation so that they can provide better services for the public.

NO

Youngsters might make incorrect decisions that hamper government work due to their lack of work experience and analyzing capabilities when facing significant problems.

Elderly people have better cognitive skills, such as big-picture thinking and long-term vision. It is because years of work experience and failures teach them to take every aspect into consideration before making important decisions.

Since the senior leaders have already overcome countless difficulties and challenges prior, they can quickly adjust their mood in turmoil and lift the morale of the whole organization.

Should Young People Undertake Important Positions in the Government?

Nowadays, whether young people should hold important posts in the government has become a controversial issue. Many citizens tend to distrust young leaders’ working abilities due to their age and inexperience. However, some people believe that youngsters are eligible for leadership roles because of their innovation and vitality.

From my point of view, I’m inclined to elect young people as leaders although older leaders have more credibility and influence. To begin with, young leaders can take more decisive measures to tackle corruption and neglect of duty since they have less interpersonal problems to worry about. Moreover, with youngsters undertaking senior positions, efficiency in handling affairs will be highly improved so as to keep the government innovative and productive. Finally, young leaders are more open-minded and easier to take in new things, which can facilitate the enforcement of new policies.

To sum up, old leaders have to be continually replaced by new ones, which is an unalterable law of nature, so young people should be given opportunities to exercise leadership. And yet there is no denying that young leaders have a lot to learn from the old, since the senior leaders have rich work experience and long-term vision.
