你的领导遗产

领导能力

一个好地方to start is simply by asking yourself the question.

您希望人们对现在的领导力10,200或30年来说，有什么看法？

Leadership Legacy

或者您希望您的领导遗留遗址是什么？

更好：写下对这两个问题的回答。

纸上出现的可能会让你感到惊讶。

Hand Down

漫画家约翰尼哈特曾曾指出，遗产是

"something that one should be able to hand down, without having to trump up."

It is not a strategic plan that can be nicely quantified and measured.

The Sum Of All

相反，它是我们行为所产生的所有结果的总和，其他人继续记住我们的行为。

这是这里的关键 - 这就是别人继续记住我们的东西，而不是我们如何记住自己。

Put another way, it is the cumulative record of how others think we measure up to the person that we had intended to be or that they expect us to be.

Leadership Past and Present

花点时间去想一些当前的或former public or corporate leaders that have been in the news during the past year:

美国总统唐纳德特朗普
Oprah Winfrey Show的，Oprah Winfrey
South Dakota's former Senator, Tom Daschle
LA Laker's Guard, Kobe Bryant
Martha Stewart Omnimedia, Martha Stewart
国家秘书长康多莉扎米
乔治W.布什

For most of us, it is probably very easy to articulate their leadership legacy - the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Ensure Your Legacy

那么，你能做什么作为一个领导者，以确保你的领导遗产是你想要被记住的人？

First, successful leaders have a strong sense of their personal values beyond their business values.

They have a personal mission and vision for their life as well as their business.

Personal And Business

而且，正如您可能猜到的那样，最成功的领导者是那些找到了一种积极主动相结合的方法的人。

Second, successful leaders have passion. Find what you are passionate about in life and then find a way to incorporate this into your life in some way every single day.

对我来说，激情可以定义为推动我们前进以实现目的或目标的当前。

It is often the source of creativity, energy, rejuvenation, and inspiration, that all leaders rely on every day in order to be effective.

Helping Others Succeed

For me, that passion revolves around helping others be successful leaders.

And finally, successful leaders take time every day for personal reflection and renewal.

反思对于良好的领导至关重要，因为自我反思是我们为自己的自我知识提供攻击的最大来源。

真实的领导

And, it is by tapping into our own self-knowledge that we grow both personally and professionally, helping us to become the authentic leaders we hope to be.

If you hope to obtain greater self-knowledge, the only way to do that is to find time for silence.

In today's 24/7 media-bombarded world, there are fewer and fewer opportunities that present themselves naturally for reflection.
