Your Leadership Legacy--Why Looking Toward the Future Will Make You a Better Leader Today: A Harvard Business School Press Book Summary in Partnership with getAbstract

Most leaders are focused on setting and meeting the medium- and long-term goals of their tenure, typically not focusing on their legacy until the twilight of their careers. "Your Leadership Legacy" convincingly argues that a leader's ultimate impact will be measured by how consciously he or she shapes that legacy from day one. This art of "legacy thinking" exerts a powerful influence on a leader's ability to achieve his or her goals and leave a lasting, powerful effect on the many constituents he or she works with.
