Kielburger emphasizes that legacy isn't just about future aspirations; it's about the daily choices that define your company's culture and values. He provides actionable strategies—such as crafting a clear legacy statement, conducting regular legacy audits and implementing a values-based decision-making framework. These tools help ensure that every business decision contributes to a lasting, positive impact.
