Greg Stevenson enrolled in a psychology degree at 57 after 30 years as a CEO. He reflects on what the experience is teaching him and how people have reacted to his decision to go back to school.
I enrolled in a psychology degree at 57 years old. I want to tell you why, and what it's teaching me that 30 years in the CEO role didn't. When people hear that, the reaction is usually one of two things. Either they think it's admirable— a CEO going back to study, good for him— or they wonder what's missing. Why would someone with that much experience feel like they need to go back to a classroom? But both reactions miss the point.
