Reflective Leadership - Legacy & Beyond

I have had the pleasure to meet some CEOs in my lifetime who have reached this esteemed level of reflective leadership. A key aspect here is the thought of leaving a legacy behind.
 
Over the years as I have read about corporate greed, where leaders have left padded with money for self and left their organizations in worse conditions, it is inspiring to see leaders who actually do the opposite.
 
One CEO I met was focused on making his people happy. He said as he hired me that he wanted to see his people happy, for when they are happy, they come to work happy.
 
I was enamored of this man. I felt that he truly had his heart in the right place. True to his intentions, the organization went from strength to strength, as employees began to realise their identity.
 
They knew who they were and moved from there to higher performance. Their style of leadership became known to them and leaders were born at all levels. They were inspired to think about the impact they would make as leaders.
 
Movinf forward they were coached and mentored by senior leaders while coaching and mentoring their juniors. All through the organization, I felt the legacy forming. This CEO had a clear vision and had done a great job in mobilizing the people who worked for him.  
 
Love and respect for everyone in the organization was established as each employee did what they did with the highest level of contributing back to the organization that gave them so much.
 
This CEO had passed his wisdom on. The organization had installed a continuous learning culture and giving back became a part of the journey. This is truly reflective leadership in operation.
 
I was a part of this incredible journey.  It felt truly inspiring. This profound journey couldn’t have happened without the NLP tools I shared. This framework certainly made it easy on employees to navigate through their personal and work lives.
