Age to me is not a factor. A leader is a personality and enthusiasm which without you cannot transcend to others and without the others' trust you want reach your objectives and goals. You need to have this character to be able to lead and manage. The trust of others comes from seeing you as an idol an exemplary of success. You need to have the base knowledge and then you need your character and mind to use this very well.

Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want it to be done because he wants to do it.– Dwight D. Eisenhower

The age s not a vital or basic factor. we can consider in some cases of choosing among many leaders for the same tasks/job.

That is hard to say ... some people can do it after a few years of experience and take over their fathers business ... most PM's I have met been in their mid30's... each person has a different point of maturity in order to be a good leader as a PM
