Leaving a Legacy: The curse of short-termism
Description
Episode #102 // It’s no surprise that leaders increasingly fall into the trap of acting only for short-term results, not really considering what they leave behind in the longer term.
This trend seems to have accelerated with the instant availability of information (both true and fabricated).
Do leaders ever think of their legacy after their postings? Do most even care?
The issues that drive leaders to act in the short term are complex: Why is there such a disproportionate focus on short term results? How much of a role does self-interest play, and what would a good, long-term legacy look like?
You're still doing the work your team should own. And you can't see a way to stop.
