The document summarizes the seven ages of a leader's career as described by Warren Bennis. Each stage brings new challenges as the leader gains experience and takes on different roles. The stages are: 1) Infant executive who looks for mentors, 2) Schoolboy who learns to lead publicly under scrutiny, 3) Lover who struggles with new problems and relationships, 4) Bearded soldier who gains confidence but loses connection, 5) General who must hear the truth and drive change, 6) Statesman who prepares to pass on wisdom, 7) Sage who finds joy in mentoring the next generation.
