Personal Leadership in the Age of No Retirement

Today, we live longer and often healthier lives than ever before. Our increased longevity has given rise to a new life stage in between early and late adulthood. This change in life expectancy is transforming how we, as individuals, think about work and how organisations think about us as workers. Major global events such as the Covid pandemic, climate change and political transitions have accelerated a shift in societal attitudes towards work, health and wellbeing, and our expectations around retirement. We are moving into a new reality where work and life choices are more fluid and individualised -- the "age of no retirement".

This book introduces a sustainable personal leadership development approach that is fit for purpose in this new era. A model that is flexible, inclusive, and emphasises the need for recalibration of personal leadership goals and actions for sustainable and fulfilling working lives. Personal Leadership in the Age of No Retirement provides scientific research insights combined with practical strategies and will help business executives, professionals, and the general reader reflect on their career journey to date and personal developmental needs so they can plan purposeful and meaningful actions to unlock the next chapter successfully.
