'This was the most important lesson that Michelangelo learned in his 70s and 80s: you cannot do everything yourself.'
As my baby boomer generation considers retirement, are we depriving society of our expertise and lessons learned?
Next, Michelangelo had to solve the problem which even Bramante avoided: how to place a dome as large as the Roman Pantheon on top of a building more than twice as tall. St. Peter’s was the culmination of Michelangelo’s 75-year career. He devoted his final 17 years to carrying forward the building “to a stage at which my design could not be spoilt or altered. Because I am an old man, I have not wished to abandon St. Peter’s.” He came to believe, “I was put there by God.” He was God’s architect.
2. Don’t rush to solutions. Michelangelo shunned fancy designs and models. After many years, he learned that solutions are discovered and rarely anticipated. 5. Surround yourself with excellent people. Use your years of experience and wisdom to select them, teach them, and mentor them, and they will be proud to work for you; they will carry out your vision.
