From Football to Formula One: How Scandals Will Scar Your Legacy
Even
if you are not a serious sports fan, it would have been hard
to escape at least some of last week’s news coverage
of a spying scandal involving one of the leading teams in
professional sports. The largest fines and the most severe
penalties in the history of the sport were levied in connection
with the unauthorized acquisition and gathering of information
about one team by another.
To
those of you who have immediately filled in the name of Coach
Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots of the National
Football League, think again.

Legacy
Thinking: How To Create A Lasting Difference Through Your
Leadership
Most
of us never deliberately attempt to learn much about the full
scope and scale of our influence at work. Our legacy is something
we think of only at the end of our tenure at a firm, or when
we're on the cusp of retirement.

of how we helped increase market share, how many new markets
we helped the firm enter, or how well we met quarterly sales
targets. We rarely see how our work has also influenced people.

Have
you taken the leadership styles assessment test?
The
Leadership
Legacy Assessment Test will help you articulate your natural
role with clarity, as distinct from your career path, current
position, or the current condition of your company. It will
help you sort out the distinctions between your roles and
titles, and identify where you get the greatest satisfaction
and where your strengths lie. Ultimately, it gives you something
to think about as you plan the kind of legacy you want to
leave.
The
self-assessment has 30 multiple choice questions and will
take only a few minutes to complete. Results are 100 percent
private, visible only to you. We do not collect any information
about you and have no way of seeing your results.
Take
the web-based Leadership
Legacy assessment test now.
