Every morning in Asia, a tiger
wakes up. It knows it must
outrun the slowest deer or it
will starve to death.
Every morning in Asia, a deer
wakes up. It knows it must run
faster than the fastest tiger or it
will be killed.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a tiger or a deer: when the
sun comes up, you’d better be running…..
Are You a Tiger or a Deer?

“Legacies are not the result of wishful
thinking. They are the results of determined
doing. The legacy you leave is the life you
lead. We live our lives daily. We leave our
legacy daily. The people you see, the
decisions you make, and the actions you
take -- they are what tell your story.”

Quote on Legacy Leadership

Grassroots Leader as a Master Chef
• This metaphor refers to how leaders should
use frameworks, tools and strategies — the
equivalent of recipes, utensils, and cooking
methods — to progress from “amateur cook”
to “master chef”. Research suggests that it is
the artful application of these elements that
allows leaders (including those from GROs) to
transform their organisation.
• It means using tools, such as leadership 360 degree
diagnostics and servant leadership styles, but perhaps more
importantly, a good dose of humility and flair.
Outcome: Leaving a Definitive Leadership Legacy.

Outside this was the leader at work. But it wasn’t just a personal
story. The transformation extended to his committee members, then
his constituency, then his grassroots organization, and last his up-
line environment, including PA or parent company.
The most positive results came, not surprisingly, when all the dolls
fit neatly together and the Leader Living His Legacy.
As a Grassroots Leader, each of your own
success story occurred within a context of
up to five others, just like Russian dolls
nested one inside the other.
The smallest doll was the grassroots leader’s
personal aspirations, values and well being.
Grassroots Leader & the Russian Doll

• What is more important to you the results you
achieve or how you achieve them?
• Have you made the impact you wanted to in
your work as a Grassroots Leader?
• Will the Grassroots Members that you lead or
your Residents/Constituents, remember you
as someone who made a difference in their
lives?

4 Generations of Grassroots Members

Definition of Legacy Leadership
• If you influence change in the lives of those around you, you
are engaged in leadership.
• Your leadership legacy is the sum total of the difference you
make in people’s lives including members, residents and
constituents, directly and indirectly, formally and informally.
• As a leader, you will have an impact on your members and
they will take what they learn forward into the future of your
grassroots organization.
• The challenge is how to live in a way that creates a legacy that
will make a positive difference in the lives of those around
you including your members and constituents.

Why is Legacy Important?
• Leaders grow and nurture emerging leaders and
create a living legacy
• The largest generation in history (Baby Boomers) will
soon begin leaving the workplace and are beginning
to think about the legacy they wish to leave
• Very little planning for this change has been done in
terms of transfer of knowledge, wisdom

with legacy best practices
• Holder of Vision and Values
• Creator of Collaboration and Innovation
• Influencer of Inspiration and Leadership
• Advocator of Differences and Greater Good

• Have you put into place a system and processes within
your GROs that enables your members to feel
connected and how to respond to their work
accordingly?
• Have you left an operating system that is not dependent
on you to give your Grassroots Members what they
need to be successful in their roles?
Discussion: Personal Leadership
Legacy Reflection & Assessment

• When you are gone will you leave your “mark” on the
Grassroots Organizations (GROs)? How?
• Will the values you instilled and live by endure long
after you have left?
• Have you put into place a system that enables others
to have a sense of clarity, knowledge and
information that each needs to be effective in the
GRO?
Conclusion: Checklist

If you do tomorrow what you did yesterday
Your Future as a GRO Leader is History……………
If you do tomorrow what we’ve covered today
Your Future as a GRO Leader is Historic!!!

CEE Presentation on “Leaving Your Leadership Legacy” by Prof Sattar Bawany 1
PRESENTATION ON “LEAVING A LEADERSHIP LEGACY”
FOR NPO/NGO LEADERS
NACLI's Learning Network
Date: 27 and 28 June 2014 Venue: National Community Leadership Institute
Introduction
When we move on, people do not remember us for what we do for ourselves. They remember us for what we
do for them. One of the great joys and grave responsibilities of leaders is making sure that those in their care
live lives not only of success, but also of significance. Leaders who see their role as serving others leave the
most lasting legacies. Teaching is one way of serving. It’s a way of passing along the lessons learned from
experience, particularly to those who look immediately to us for leadership. By asking ourselves how we
want to be remembered, we plant the seeds for living our lives as if we matter.
Leaders Serve and Sacrifice
Are you on this planet to do something, or are you just here for something to do? If you’re on this planet to
do something, what is it? What difference will you make? What will be your legacy? Viewing leadership as
service is not a new concept. Robert Greenleaf, himself a retired corporate executive, observed that the
“great leader is seen as servant first, and that simple fact is the key to [the leader’s] greatness.”
The Best Leaders Are Teachers
The best way to learn something is to teach it to somebody else. As the late Peter Drucker observed early in
his career: “My third employer was the youngest of three senior partners of a bank … Once a week or so he
would sit down with me and talk about the way he saw the world … In the end, I think he learned more than I
did from our little talks.”
You Are the Most Important Leader in Your Organization
The CEO is not the most important leader in an organization. Despite the fact that CEOs get most of the
press, they get far too much credit for success, and far too much blame for failures. The attributions are way
out of proportion to their actual influence. If the CEO is not the most important leader, who is it? If you’re a
manager in an organization, to your direct reports, you are the most important leader in your organization. In
other words, you are the CEO of your group.
Conclusion: The Legacy You Leave
The Leader must continuously engage and keep the passion forever burning in their followers As John
Maxwell, author of numerous books on leadership, said, “It’s been said that there are two kinds of people in
life: those who make things happen and those who wonder what happened. Leaders have the ability to make
things happen. People who don’t know how to make things happen for themselves won’t know how to make
things happen for others.” He went on, “What you do with the future means the difference between leaving a
track record and leaving a legacy.” Legacies aren’t just wishful thinking. They’re the result of determined
doing. The legacy you leave is the life you lead. You just never know whose life you might touch. What you
do know is that you can make a difference. You can leave this world better than you found it.
