Education Segment : "Leaving A Leadership Legacy"

Toastmasters District 51 Semi Annual Convention 2012,

Saturday, 17 November 2012,   Holiday Villa Subang, Malaysia

Introduction

When we move on, people do not remember us for what we do for ourselves. They remember us for what we do for them. One of the great joys and grave responsibilities of leaders is making sure that those in their care live lives not only of success, but also of significance. Leaders who see their role as serving others leave the most lasting legacies. Teaching is one way of serving. It’s a way of passing along the lessons learned from experience, particularly to those who look immediately to us for leadership. By asking ourselves how we want to be remembered, we plant the seeds for living our lives as if we matter.
