Summary: Leadership and legacy are not just what you do, but also how you do it. It will be determined by a series of choices you make over your life about how to spend this moment – here, and now. The challenging thing is that each moment feels like a throwaway, because another one follows closely on its heels. How you choose to engage here and now speaks more to your character than whatever residual stuff you leave in your trail.<br> <br> Rather than asking “what do I want on my tombstone?”, which is nothing but a cold, dead piece of stone, ask yourself “who will gather by the road just to catch a glimpse as my hearse passes by?”<br> <br> Who will you impact so deeply that they will continue your work even after you are gone?<br> <br> Who will you challenge to up their game, to be better than they are?<br> <br> Who will you irreversibly impact?<br> <br> Who will you stand in the gap to defend?<br> <br> That, friends, is the stuff that lasting legacies are made of.<br> <br> Be a leader who makes echoes.<br> This episode is sponsored by <a href="http://freshbooks.com/accidental">Freshbooks</a>.
