Your Values-Based Legacy
Build your legacy to have an impact and make the world a better place
In Your Values-Based Legacy: Making a Difference at Every Age and Phase of Life, the fourth book in Harry Kraemer’s series on values-based leadership, you are invited on a journey of introspection and exploration to discover how you can help make the world a better place. As a former chairman and CEO of a multi-billion-dollar global healthcare company and now a Professor of Management and Strategy at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, Kraemer shares first-hand accounts from dozens of individuals who are building legacies by tackling some of the planet’s biggest challenges, including poverty, hunger, inequality, climate change, education, and leadership development. From local community projects to global initiatives, Your Values-Based Legacy captures the essence of caring for others.
- Personal Empowerment: Learn how to make conscious choices that positively impact your life and the world around you.
- Inspiring Stories: Read compelling accounts from people making a difference in various fields and communities.
- Actionable Guidance: Gain practical advice and reflective questions to help you build a sustainable legacy.
Your Values-Based Legacy is structured around the concept of legacy as a continuum. In Part 1, Honoring Our Past, you explore the influences in your life—from family to teachers and role models. In Part 2, Celebrating Our Present, you reflect on the causes, challenges, and opportunities that resonate with you, and hear from others who are making a positive impact. In Part 3, Creating Our Future, you consider how to make your legacy sustainable, such as by passing the torch to the next generation.
