1、题目大意
机构中的领导者一般是年龄大的人。但是一些人认为年轻人也可以当领导者。在多大程度上同意或者不同意？
2、思路解析
这是一道观点类大作文，讨论的是年轻人是否能担任领导。题目理解上不难，审题时需要注意题目暗藏了一个年长者vs年轻人的比较关系，因此在论证时，需要考虑年轻人相较于老年人的优势或劣势。年轻人和年长者谁更能胜任领导是个经典话题。要注意的是，凡是能当候选者的人，必定都有超凡的工作能力和心理抗压能力！所以这两点上无需比较。更多的还是要从年龄的客观因素带来的效应出发。尤其要考虑领导者这一特殊岗位的工作性质，从精力、影响力、创新力进行辨析。下面王珍老师带大家看下具体观点。
首先，来看年轻人能够担任领导的理由，有两方面。
一是在一些新兴行业，比如互联网、直播等行业，年轻人具备更大的优势。他们愿意尝试新鲜事物，有着更高的接受能力和学习能力。他们更能理解当下流行趋势并制定相应的目标或工作方案。
二是年轻人相比年长的人有更多精力能够投入领导者所需完成的工作中。一方面年轻意味着更多的体力和活力，他们的朝气能够带动团队一起努力和拼搏。另一方面他们可能还没有组建家庭，不会受到家人和孩子的影响，有更多时间和精力能够投入到管理工作中。
再来看年轻人不适合当领导的原因，有三方面。
一是年纪轻会给管理上带来劣势，年轻的管理者可能会受到年长员工的歧视，后者不愿意听从前者的管理和工作安排，进而给整个团队管理上造成麻烦。
二是年轻人相较于年长者缺少足够的经验、人脉关系，这些使得他们在处理紧急问题以及和重要合作方打交道时，效果不如那些资历丰富的年长者。
三是年轻人心态不够沉稳，导致他们在决定时更容易冲动并缺少充分的考量，而作为管理者一旦因为意气用事做出了错误的决定，会对整个团队和公司造成巨大的损失。
3、提纲
4、高分范文示例
It is common for enterprises to have seniors as top executives nowadays. However, there is an argument that young people should also be offered the opportunities to be leaders as age should not be the glass ceiling that bars them from upper management in large corporations. From my perspective, I agree with this idea.
First of all, young leaders, especially those employed in high-technology companies, are easy to keep pace with the rapidly changing market. Admittedly, compared with senior employees, they do lack experience of the past, but facing this rapid shifting market, their inadequate experience can be in turn seen as an advantage, as being in the same age of the targeting customers, they can understand the current popular tendency and are less likely to be inhibited by self - consciousness. Therefore, they are able to absorb the latest information and use their lateral thinking to make adaptations to meet the demand,. Besides, young people have more abundant time and vigorous to be a leader. Being managers means catering to enormous tasks simultaneously, and as most young people have not been married and formed their families, they can devote themselves to their work and maximise their output, which is impossible for older people.
Undeniably, when facing an emergency or a dilemma, compared with the aged leaders, the young generation tends to be less responsible and considerable, resulting in impulsive decisions due to their immaturity. Consequently, organisations might be at risk. However, young candidates who have the potential to be managers can be first recruited as the management trainees, and after having professional training ranging from six months to five years, they are sure to have the capability to deal with diverse situations.
In conclusion, despite the defects of young managers, young people are eligible for leadership. Therefore, organisations should be encouraged to employ the young generation in top positions.
