Based on groundbreaking research, this essential resource shows you how to harness your long-term ambitions to build a modern legacy.

Every organization hopes to be successful, but over time what true leaders want is to create a legacy-a durable difference and a lasting mark. Modern legacy builders-those who envision their legacies as in the making-are transforming the entire business landscape in distinct, powerful and enduring ways. They inspire and influence others around them and around the world. And they incorporate long-term ambitions into discrete everyday practices and habits.

Legacy in the Making reveals the five guiding principles that distinguish the "modern legacy mindset", which include...

  1. Personally: Investing in people-beginning with yourself

  2. Behaviorally: Building from the inside out on beliefs and behavior

  3. Influentially: Maximizing your social impact and cultural influence

  4. Unconventionally: Breaking rules and reconciling paradoxes

  5. Perpetually: Cultivating enduring significance

Through real-life stories Legacy in the Making illustrates how some of today's most admired modern legacy thinkers are transforming business as we know it: writing history, ahead of reading it, every day.and illustrates how a new generation of leaders and marketers are using this thinking to change the way business gets done.

  • Investing in personal ambition-beginning with your own

  • Building from the inside out around beliefs and behaviors

  • Maximizing your social impact and cultural influence

  • Breaking rules-including reconciling paradoxes
