Napoléon B.: the case for legacy thinking at org and personal levels

I was in Paris and noticed a poster featuring the former French emperor Napoléon Bonaparte. His legacy is both negative and positive (including over 6 million Europeans casualties). The "enlightened despot" is known for having introduced French civil law and access to school education for children. Legacy thinking in business and politics is often not viewed as a priority. Short-term pressure (elections or increasing shareholder value) prevails. Alas, it is a fantastic tool to help individuals prioritze and focus on meaningful projects. In this episode, I encourage you to think more broadly about what you want to be remembered for.
