With our world so rapidly changing-
transforming and rearranging-
it can get hard to know
which way to go
How should I do?
What might I say?
In all the decisions
I gotta make today?
It’s hard to pick
much harder to see
‘cause the Why’s I Choose
can become legacy.
Okay- please forgive my [poor] attempt at rhyming lyrics.
I’ve been inspired by genius on display in the hit show Hamilton.
Tickets to the production were a present from my wife.
We went yesterday.
Thank you, Sweetheart!
From the rap, “The World is Wide Enough,” I picked up a grand new awareness of “legacy”…
Legacy, what is a legacy?
It’s planting seeds in a garden you never get to see
Brilliant.
Getting to you (and me)-
Anything you ever say or do can become a bequest to those who come after- your family, your friends, your organization…the world.
And you’ll likely never see your true impact.
Kinda sobering, isn’t it?
Fortunately, we’ve been given great strategies & tools to help whenever we’re in a position to influence others (which, BTW, is all the time).
Like… “Purpose → Autonomy → Mastery”.
Lead (and influence) with Purpose, offer Autonomy, and…get out of the way.
Remember-
the highest and best form of efficiency [Mastery] comes through the spontaneous cooperation [Desire] of a free [Autonomous] workforce.
And this “highest and best form of efficiency” isn’t just about now, tomorrow, or the next quarterly report.
It’s about long-term consequences…
It’s hard to pick
much harder to see
‘cause the Why’s I Choose
can become legacy.
What seeds are you planting…today?
