— To follow is a bullet of wisdom on leadership. It comes from Tom’s rifle, named Shot, who has seen it all. You’ll get the drift by clicking Blog in the menu at www.tomnewhouse.com.
RUDY, MY MARKSMAN, IS DEAD. He died quite a while back, but I miss him. Death is so final; it leaves no repeat adventures, only memories. Well, that is something isn’t it? Rudy left me with memories. Indeed, he left a legacy. He lived, and he lives on.
Are you going to be a leader who leaves a legacy? Will it be a good one? Decide what you might (positively) be known for and make sure of it. Pursue that with a passion. Pursue it with persistence. May your followers and others remember and miss you.
