Financial Post - MBA: Baby boom managers reinvent retirement

Baby Boomers have been bucking social conventions and defining new market trends since the 1960s. Now they’re reinventing retirement as well, a new McGill study shows.

The study, based on in-depth interviews with 106 managers and executives from a variety of companies and industries across Canada, sheds light on how Baby Boom managers and corporate leaders are crafting their pathways out of firms and forging new models of retirement.

The research — led by Prof. Mary Dean Lee at McGill University’s Desautels Faculty of Management, with colleagues from McGill and York University in Canada, and Queensland University and the University of Melbourne in Australia — highlights the complexity of how managers are approaching the later stages of life.
