Perhaps no business leader has been more critical to preparedness and ongoing operations than Human Resources (HR) professionals.

In a fascinating article in the October 22nd edition of the New York Times, “You May Only Be as Old as You Feel”, Emily Laber-Warren explores the difference between chronological age and "subjective age".

I am often asked when am I going to retire? Since I have achieved the age denoted as "senior citizen" it is a fairly legitimate question.
