RE: Companies Must Work to Avoid Boomer Brain Drain

I think you missed the boat on this article. Instead of these "boomers" holding on to these executive, administrative, and managerial positions why not encourage these boomers train a younger, more skilled, innovative, and ambitious workforce? Promote the 40 something’s to the executive positions, the late 20’s to late 30’s to the managerial positions, and bring in student interns to handle the administrative work with the intention of developing them and promoting them provided they do a good job.

Or continue as usual while younger, more innovative corporations eat your lunch.
