COMMENT: I'm struggling to keep up these days with what's expected of us and what isn't.
We are supposed to be more diverse, offer more workplace equality, break down barriers and be more open and accepting - smashing glass ceilings and all-male boardrooms as we go.
And yet yesterday, we hear that anyone over 60-years-old, is too old to be a CEO.
This is the unkind and unsavoury opinion of a veteran Australian businessman who says anyone over 60 may be starting to lose track of not just their energy, but also be out of touch with trends and the latest entrepreneurial skills.
Sorry Warren Buffett (89) and Rupert Murdoch (88) - you're apparently past it.
Funnily enough, this Aussie businessman himself is no spring chicken: Kevin Seymour is 79. But he clearly still feels energetic enough to espouse his opinions on fellow CEOs.
He says there are exceptions to the rule, but by and large those over 60 are out of touch.
