Breadcrumb Legacy: How Great Leaders Live a Life Worth Remembering

Legacy can seem far off and out of reach, but it doesn’t happen at journey’s end and it’s not only for the rich and famous. Legacy is now, and this book shows leaders how you can find and leave meaning on a daily basis. Jann E. Freed, PhD, introduces her Breadcrumb Legacy(TM) framework, a radical but pragmatic approach, made up of small actions you consciously take over time that accumulate into the trail, or legacy, you’ll leave behind.

Breadcrumb Legacy is also a mindset, an awareness of the impact you’re having on your relationships, your organization, and your family, in every communication and interaction.

This book is the guide to leaving a trail of meaning throughout your life and career. Based on in-depth interviews, Breadcrumb Legacy provides inspiration and practical stories for living a life worth remembering.
