Summary
Unfolds an entirely new perspective on legacy issues and invites the reader to shift his or her thinking from goals to aspirations, from balance to focus, from results to commitments, from achieving to becoming, and from outcomes to actions. Including the instructive and inspiring stories of leaders working on legacy issues while improving their organizations, this book contains transformative action steps and prescriptive exercises that will improve your company and your life. Learn how to create the most meaning in both your personal and professional domains by reframing: Passion into purpose; Change into growth; Goals into aspirations; Balance into focus; Listening into hearing; Ambition into meaning. You're a natural leader. Leading is about making positive change in lives and organizations. You already take it seriously; taking it personally is the next step. The key to lasting leadership--and a life well lived--is simpler than you think. --
