Succession: A Leader’s Lasting Value

John Maxwell often says, “The best thing a leader can leave people is a legacy.” In this episode, John will be sharing 3 pictures that will help you develop a legacy culture for your team and organization. 

After his lesson, Mark Cole and Traci Morrow sit down to talk about what John has shared and give you practical ways to apply it to your life and leadership. 

Key takeaways: 

• “There is no success without a successor. And the most important thing you can do is leave a legacy.” — Peter Drucker  

• When you think of your legacy, you have to think of today. 

• You should be preparing to hand the baton off to someone else.
