Leading With Values • What values helped you succeed from the past to the present? • Did you go through difficult times from your past to present and how did your values anchor you?
Collins’ Key Points • During tough times, successful companies and people: • Are moored by values “In times of great uncertainty, you have to have moorings. You need to preserve them over time.” • Manage for the quarter century • Focus on reinventing vs. just surviving
“Legacy Thinking” • Unlike an organization’s Vision or Mission, this kind of thinking is more connected to you as an individual • It must be consistent with who you are • Catalyst for action • Instincts and tendencies
Discovering Your Legacy How Do You Wish To Be Remembered? • Characteristics or skills • Values • Manifestations
Explore Your Legacy • This is harder to think about than it is to write… • Reflect, then jump right in and begin writing • Don’t worry …if it feels / sounds too idealistic …about word choice.
