“A leader’s lasting value is measured by succession.” – John C. Maxwell Hey Leaders, We’ve reached Law 21 - The Law of Legacy, and it’s the most important one of all. This law asks a powerful question: Will your leadership outlive you? Leadership isn’t just about what you build — it’s about who you build. Titles fade. Positions change. But the people you develop carry your influence forward. True leaders don’t think in terms of next quarter — they think in terms of next generation. Here’s the reality: - Success is what you do for yourself - Significance is what you do for others - Legacy is what you leave within others At Axis Leadership, this law sits at the heart of our mission: Better People. Better World. When you invest in people, model integrity, and intentionally develop future leaders, you create a ripple effect that goes far beyond your role, your organization, or your lifetime. This Week’s Leadership Challenge: Ask yourself: - Who am I intentionally developing right now? - If I stepped away tomorrow, who would be ready? - What values am I passing on — not just what skills? Your legacy isn’t something you leave behind —it’s something you live out every day. Thank you for walking through all 21 laws with me. Let’s keep growing leaders who grow leaders. — Dr. Joe
