I never set out to leave a legacy, merely impact people positively each and every day. Recently, I was asked to reflect on the legacy of my leadership. Being one to serve others, it is difficult to think of my influence on the people in which I am employed to lead. I think of the relationships I have with so many people and the structural changes we have made in our organization. It is through the numerous students I run into years after they graduate I am reminded of my leadership. Former students reminiscing about great times within the walls of the school and they never fail to ask about their favorite teachers. I'm always impressed with their level of success and maturity at such young ages.
What will people say of your legacy? Have you thought about your influence on your organization and the people within? I know I haven't given it much thought, but I will from this point forward. It will be my measure to ensure I am serving others.
