Great leaders are social animals, extending their network, interested in other people, trying to support youngsters, giving back their knowledge.
Which gives them a sense of purpose even when they are beyond operational business, surrounds them with new ideas to keep them thinking and may mitigate the risk of getting lonely.
Look at all the old guys in project management (Jim Snyder, David Pells, Max Wideman to name a few), who are still out there and making a difference.

Great comments in the above. Speaking for myself, I stated after earning my PMP I would take an Italian Cooking class at a local college to satisfy my Italian cravings. Well, I have never walked into the Italian Cooking class and find my desire to give back supersedes my appetites for ziti and cannoli. I am now starting studies for my PMI-ACP and will once again state, "After this certification, I plan to attend a local college and......"
Yes, I too doubt I will go there as I chase more formal knowledge for my profession. Saving Changes...
