The Challenge
Selfish or Selfless
The older I get, the more self absorbed I become. I'm focused on the next phase of development, opportunity or challenge that I can overcome. The desire to leave a legacy that impacts those around me drives me forward...but at what cost?
I'm a parent of 5 children. Can I really afford to be so self-absorbed that I miss the opportunity to shape the future leadership generation of the world in which I will grow old and more reliant in?
I believe one of the foundational challenges that every leader faces is the choice to remain selfless or the choice to embrace the growing desire to be selfish.
So I'm asking myself today, in what I choose to do, will this benefit only me, or will this serve those around me?

Leaders that are selfless are leaders who leave a legacy worth imitating.
