Lynda Gratton: The 100-Year Life

Lynda Gratton is a Professor of Management Practice at London Business School. She has been ranked in the top 15 on The Thinkers50 list of the world’s top 50 business thinkers. She’s the author with Andrew Scott of The 100-Year Life: Living and working in an age of longevity*.

Key Points
  • Many more of us, and potentially a majority of our children, will live to be 100 or more
  • Organizations (and society) still tend to frame our lives in three stages: education, work, retirement
  • Transitions now happen more often for us and are less likely to be in lock-step with our peers
  • The problem with transition: the people who know you best don’t want you to change
  • Navigating more transitions in life means that we need to have networks with people who are not like us
  • Truth is essential in leadership
