Leadership Legacy

Now that I am past a certain point in life I find myself thinking more about my legacy. My leadership legacy. I am using the somewhat broad definition of leadership as being in a position to positively influence others toward a goal.

I woke up today as I do rather often these days, thinking about what positive influence I will have with those I interact with today. My goal isĀ  to be that positive influence to help others be the best they can be toward whatever goal they have for today. Given that one of my mantras is to take baby-steps, I apply that philosophy by deciding what small step I will take today to take action.

I decided to start here and write this blog entry.

Like many, I can be bowled over with the to-do list that seems to grow by the minute, but I choose to focus my energy rather than give-in to being overwhelmed. Being overwhelmed doesn’t serve me or those I hope to assist.

In focusing myself on my goal: to be a positive influence ~ to help others be the best they can be toward whatever goal they have for today, I start to leave my leadership legacy.

I invite you to share your leadership legacy. Let’s start a conversation.
