I’ve found that the best leaders not only build a foundation for themselves and their team.
But they focus on paying it forward by building something that lasts far past their leadership.
In other words, strong leadership requires leaving a legacy.
I learned this leadership truth from the great John Maxwell.
This requires casting a vision, creating a foundation that can scale, and then finding a replacement that can continue the journey even better than the founder.
Applying it to an example that just happened within my leadership pursuits.
After nearly 11 years of operating our Mission Viejo Fit Body location, Tatiana and I did just that by passing the torch to our new owner Melissa.

PS This is true in parenting which is a sizable leadership role.
