Where will you leave your legacy?
August 28th, 2009
About a year ago, a course instructor at the Air Command and Staff College asked my classmates and me a question: "Where will you leave your legacy?"
The question was asked in the context of a class regarding leadership in command. Although none of us were slated to command immediately following school, each person in the seminar had the opportunity to provide a response to the instructor's question.
Comments from my classmates varied quite a bit, but my response was definitely the one that came out of left field. My reply was simple, "I don't intend to leave a legacy with my command. If I'm going to leave any legacy, it will be with my family."
