Look in the mirror and ask yourself this simple question: When I look inside my own organization, what would the people who work there — the people who help me — say was my legacy relative to them, not to the community we serve? The people I’ve brought into our culture to assist in creating that impact.

Because if you can’t say your legacy is that you made a huge impact on their lives — that you’ve taught them something, that you’ve pushed on them, that you’ve developed them, that you’ve trained them, that you’ve aligned them, that they’re accomplishing their goals and objectives and dreams by working with you — if they can’t say that, then you have a business that’s a “me” business.

If you want to amplify and magnify that — you want to attain true greatness — first start with what legacy you’re going to have with the team you’re doing it with.
