Recently author, Bob Shank, shared about succession planning with a small group of Kansas City leaders. Bob stated that our choices include lingering, committing larceny, or leaving a legacy.
The final and best choice Bob proposed is leaving a legacy. Focusing on what’s best for the future of the organization will lead you to investing in those leaders who follow you.
The truly great leaders are those who turn their focus to leaving a legacy by training and coaching the next generation.
In Matthew 10:1 we read, “Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to heal every disease and sickness.”
Jesus left an amazing legacy by investing in those who would remain when He left. We should do likewise.
