Books by Alan Weiss

Our organic, living legacy is marred and squeezed by huge normative pressures. There is a threshold point, at which one¿s beliefs and values are overridden by immense peer pressure. Our metrics are forced to change. In an age of social media, biased press, and bullying, we¿ve come to a point where our legacy, ironically, is almost out of our hands.

This book is for entrepreneurs, business owners, and those who seek a better position for themselves and their talents, but who procrastinate, delay, and hang back. We are our own worst enemies and we ignore the practical remedies to escape fear because we use our energies instead on blaming everyone else.

Ageism is too often an accepted form of bias, even though the facts support the value of aging. Airline pilots forced to retire at the arbitrary age of 65 are usually at the top of their game. Forced retirement in most organizations remove highly skilled performers as well as role models and trainers for newer generations. Instead of revelling in who we are, we begin to try to look younger as soon as possible, with 16-year-old women receiving nose and breast surgery as birthday presents. People have become inured to "losing" abilities as they age instead of appreciating new abilities that only age can bestow. Everyone extols the need for gender equality, lest we lose the talents of half of our population. Yet, people over 65 are currently 15 percent of the US population (46.2 million) and is projected to rise to 34 percent. Due to the IRA legislation of the Reagan era ¿ and the lack of need to purchase homes, college educations, cars, or health care¿the discretionary assets are also substantial. It's time these people took control of their lives and influence on everything from business to politics.

What could your organizations accomplish if everyone--from the investors and those at the top to workers on the front line--were committed to the same goal? Learn the powerful ways to build buy-in that cost nothing yet drive major organization-wide results.
