220: Ask Denis: The Leadership Dash
Have you ever noticed that little dash between the date of birth and date of passing of a person on a tombstone? While it may look blank to us, that dash represents who we are, and everything we will be remembered for. So the question is, what will you be remembered for, or in other words, how are you living out that dash? I believe there are some things we should have in mind as we navigate our leadership that will help us leave a legacy.
Dive in and let\u2019s talk about the leadership dash.
On this episode:
- We will all be remembered for something by the end of our life. How you spend your dash matters, so let\u2019s talk about what we need to do as leaders to maximise that dash while there is still breath in our lungs.
- How can we shape the dash of our life? There are several mindset shifts that can help us on our journey, that will actively define your leadership legacy.
Key Takeaways:
- When all is said and done, what do you want to be remembered for?
- Start with the end in mind
- You are the custodian of your role or position
- It comes down to clarity of where you are going as a leader
- Make sure you become the right leader for the job
