Build something other people use after you’ve moved on. That’s a legacy you can actually see.

LEADERSHIP

WHAT THIS MEANS

Legacy sounds like statues and speeches, but mostly it is things that keep working after you leave. A club that still meets, a system somebody follows because it beats the old way, a document people keep opening. None of that requires your name on it.

Look at something you are part of right now. Ask what would fall apart if you disappeared tomorrow, then spend a week making that one thing survivable without you. That is the whole practice, repeated.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

What have you made that still works without you there?
