In the end the leader’s goal is to leave a lasting imprint.

What will you leave behind?

The leader unconcerned about leaving a legacy, is a leader who will leave the job undone.

Without a legacy, our lives and leadership, amount to little more than a holding pattern, in a world of decay.

The leader’s central concern with regard to legacy, is the perpetuation of conviction.

We lead because we possess deep beliefs that mature into convictions.

Our leadership consists of developing those convictions in others, who will then act together in the service of those beliefs, motivated to common action, in the mission of sharing those convictions, and living them out.

The only antidote to the decline and fall of an organisation or movement, is the perpetuation of the convictions.

Without the passing on of the fundamental beliefs, intact and in living colour, those convictions will soon be eclipsed.

The leader also bares the responsibility of building a leadership team, and hiring outstanding individuals, who fully share the leader’s convictions and vision, without hesitation or mental hesitation.

The leader must drive the convictions and beliefs so deeply into the culture and ethos of the organisation, that alteration or abandonment, is seen as taboo or betrayal.

This could be seen as the essential, “Statement of beliefs.”

I am determined to leave a legacy of conviction, and a living organisation, a perpetuation of convictions, for the furtherance of a worthy mission – nothing less – How about you?

Your legacy, is all that remains, when you have gone!
