Does your birthday determine if you become a CEO? A recent report done by a Sauder professor, Maurice Levi, shows that your birthday determines, to some extent, your chances of becoming a CEO. Through this article, its is explained how the chances of being an CEO vary with different birthdays, and how the younger individuals are often not CEOs. I find this article interesting as even with a variety of external stimuli, there was a connection between birthday and rank in a company. The article states that due to the the current schooling system and the interaction of children, older children are often given the advantage and therefore can gain the skills required to become a successful business owner and leader. After reading this article questions are raised as to whether or not the schooling system should be better designed to give all children an equal chance further in life and an equal opportunity to become leaders in the community regardless of age.
