Every morning in Asia, a tiger wakes up. It knows it

must outrun the slowest deer or it will starve to death.

Every morning in Asia, a deer wakes

up. It knows it must run faster than the

fastest tiger or it will be killed.

It doesn’t matter whether you are a tiger or a deer: when

the sun comes up, you’d better be running…..

Are You a Tiger or a Deer?

Who We Are

“Legacies are not the result of wishful thinking. They are the results of determined

doing. The legacy you leave is the life you lead. We live our lives daily. We leave our

legacy daily. The people you see, the decisions you make, and the actions you

take -- they are what tell your story.”

Quote on Legacy Leadership



Definition of Legacy Leadership

• If you influence change in the lives of those around you, you are engaged in leadership.

• Your leadership legacy is the sum total of the difference you make in people’s lives, directly and indirectly, formally and informally.

• As a leader, you will have an impact on your staff and they will take what they learn forward into the future of your organization.

• The challenge is how to live in a way that creates a legacy that will make a positive difference in the lives of those around you.

How great leaders inspire action - Simon Sinek has a simple but powerful model for inspirational leadership all starting with a golden circle and the question "Why?”

“If you hire people just because they can do a job, they’ll work for your money. But if you hire people who believe what you believe, they’ll work for you with blood and

sweat and tears.” - Simon Sinek

Arrogance: You’re right and everyone else is wrong Aloofness: You disengage and disconnect Melodrama: You always grab the center of attention Volatility: Your mood shifts are sudden and unpredictable Excessive Caution: The next decision you make may be your first

Why Leaders Fail

Habitual Distrust: You focus on the negatives Passive Resistance: Your silence is misinterpreted as agreement Perfectionism: You get the little things right while the big things go wrong Eagerness to please: You want to win any popularity contest

• What is more important to you the results you achieve or how you achieve them?

• Have you made the impact you wanted to in your work?

• Will employees remember you as someone who made a difference in their lives?



20





• When you are gone will you leave your “mark” on the

organization? How?

• Will the values you instilled and live by endure long after you have left?

• Have you put into place a system that enables others to have a sense of clarity, knowledge and information that each needs to be effective?

Conclusion: Leaving Your Legacy

• What lessons am I teaching in each interaction I have?

• What stories will others tell about me in the future?

• What will others learn from those stories?
