A Harsh Litmus Test for Leadership<\/h2>\n

What you did yesterday matters the least<\/em>. Good, bad, or a mix of both, what’s done is done.<\/p>\n

What you do today will matter some<\/em>. Every minute of every day is an opportunity to make others around you better…..or not.<\/p>\n

What you do in the days ahead will matter the most<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Leader\u2019s Legacy<\/a> (Kouzes and Posner) is an easy read that emphasizes each leader’s opportunity to have a lasting impact. If you’re into self-improvement, read it. If you\u2019re not into self-improvement, read it anyway.<\/p>\n

We should always be a student of our craft, working on elements of our leadership skill set. This book is the perfect complement to skill building because it keeps our focus on the bigger picture.<\/p>\n

Simply put…if our leadership is missed after we are gone, then what we did while we were here mattered. The litmus test is harsh, but it’s clear.<\/p>\n
