Why do the most experienced leaders drift furthest from the future?
In an era when a 25-year-old intern may understand your customers better than your executive team, the traditional flow of knowledge—from senior to junior—is quietly breaking down. Growing Downward argues that the organizations that survive are the ones that learn to grow in the opposite direction.
Drawing on reverse mentoring programs at GE, Microsoft, P&G, Ford, Huawei, Gucci, Estée Lauder, LEGO, Heineken, and even the U.S. Army, this book shows how pairing senior leaders with younger employees—as teachers, not students—rebuilds the trust, market instinct, and innovation capacity that hierarchy slowly destroys.
You will learn:
For CEOs, HR leaders, and managers navigating generational divides and digital disruption, Growing Downward is a practical playbook for keeping your organization young at the soul level.
