Are you creating the legacy you want to leave for your children? What legacy are you leaving at work? Have you even thought about your legacy? If not, you may be making a mistake. Most sources narrowly define ?legacy? as a gift of property that has been handed down. I prefer to view legacy as much more. Think about some of the people in your life that are gone or are no longer a part of your life. I bet the first thing that comes to mind is how they made you feel or how you felt about them; not what they gave you or what they did for a living. The most significant legacy you will leave is how you live your life and what you give of yourself. If you think of legacy in these terms, it makes you more mindful of everything and every day. A legacy is multi-dimensional. In other words, we all have many aspects in our lives and will leave a legacy in each. As I?ve been thinking about legacy, I?ve been thinking in terms of my work legacy and what legacy I?ll leave as a parent. What I?ve realized is that there?s a common thread in both ? leadership. Truly great leaders are those that have a positive impact not only at work, but in life. Here are 4 important factors to keep in mind as you think about leaving your legacy as a leader. Everyone?s a leader Whether or not you?re in a formal leadership role, people around you are being influenced by your actions and your words. As a result, your leadership ability is being evaluated by others and will be remembered. Leadership happens every day, not just in a crisis Did you say or do something today that had an impact on someone? Of course you did. According to Robert M Galford and Regina Fazio Maruca, authors of Your Leadership Legacy, ?your day-to-day actions are molding your eventual measure as a leader.?
