From Concept to Application in Two Hours Flat

I'm a fan of parable books, many by famous authors most of us in the business world recognize. Make room for three more names. Marta Brooks, Sarah Caverhill, and Julie Stark.This story of the search for lasting significance is incredibly insightful, causing me to look inside of myself within the first chapter. Every twist and turn the story takes demands that the readers place themselves in the story. Following that comes the evaluation of your own life as you read about the lives of the characters.Instead of simply leaving me with a few ideas about leadership, The Leadership Legacy taught me HOW to do what it teaches. This "putting your money where your mouth is" style is refreshing. I realize that in a hundred years, there will be all new people. The Leadership Legacy caused me to take a serious inventory of the legacy I was leaving, and because of it, I think more of a difference in the world will be realized.This book gets five stars, two thumbs up, five bananas, ten candles, and a hundred on the applause meter.

Insightful, Inspirational and Poignant

As an entrepreneur with numerous small businesses I've read countless books on management and leadership. The authors of Your Leadership Legacy have created an enjoyable parable to remind us of some essential, yet often forgotten principals which make us not only better leaders, but also better people.
