Editor's Note: The following article is an adaptation from Robert M. Galford and Regina Fazio Maruca's book, Your Leadership Legacy - Why Looking Towards the Future will Make you a Better Leader Today, which was recently published by Harvard Business School Press.
Most of us never deliberately attempt to learn much about the full scope and scale of our influence at work. Our legacy is something we think of only at the end of our tenure at a firm, or when we're on the cusp of retirement.
What's more, when we do look back, we often measure success in terms of how we helped increase market share, how many new markets we helped the firm enter, or how well we met quarterly sales targets. We rarely see how our work has also influenced people.
