Have you ever thought about what your family and friends will say at your funeral? Or what about what your coworkers will say about you when you retire, quit, or get fired? Regardless of how your leadership ends, the point is that it eventually will. This is why legacy is important.
Your legacy is what people remember about you when you’re gone. This can either be a positive or negative thing. Will your family remember you as present or as absent? Will your coworkers say you served them? Or will they say you expected them to serve you? Whatever the people in your circle of influence remember about you when you’re gone is your legacy.
Think about it: What do you want to be remembered for? Are you already doing that? If you answered no, how can you start?
