John Maxwell: 我想谈谈遗产。领导者的持久价值取决于继承。最好的遗产是传承文化。没有继承者就没有成功，而最重要的就是留下遗产。不要把遗产放在组织中，而要放在人身上。文化关乎行为，我们应该在公司、组织或团队中发展传承文化。为此，我将分享三个画面：钟表象征着我们现在正在做什么，提醒我们珍惜当下；指南针象征着我们前进的方向，提醒我们现在就要选择自己想要达成的目标；同伴象征着我们旅程中的伙伴，他们对我们的成功至关重要。选择合适的同伴，即内圈成员，对领导者的成功至关重要。应该做好准备，将接力棒传递给其他人。要关注日常工作、方向和同伴。 Mark Cole: 领导者应该学习如何在其业务或组织中发展传承文化。应该从一开始就考虑继承问题，即使还没有什么需要继承。继承不仅仅是找到替代者，更重要的是持续做值得重复的事情。考虑遗产时，要考虑自己想让后代继承什么品质。成为优秀的二把手，需要放弃自己的议程，采纳领导者的议程。最终，领导者的遗产和二把手的遗产会融合在一起。扩展他人的遗产也是你自己的遗产。遗产是长期积累的结果，而不是一蹴而就的。持续做的事情，才是值得传承的事情。我总是感觉自己落后十年，因为人生只有在回顾时才能理解。永远不会太晚去规划自己的遗产。永远不会太晚去追求梦想。我希望人们说我激励他们超越自我。是的，每个人都会留下遗产，无论有意还是无意。即使是年轻的生命，也会留下深刻的影响。从家庭开始，建立自己的遗产。继承是一个过程，而不是简单的交接。真正的继承是一种精神或基因的传承。 Traci Morrow: 许多领导者没有考虑继承问题。领导者应该从第一天开始就考虑继承问题吗？如何区分继承他人的遗产和建立自己的遗产？持续做的事情，才是值得传承的事情。领导者应该如何处理年轻时的想法和后期的想法之间的差异？你有什么想让人们用一句话来概括你的人生吗？每个领导者都有继承者吗？同伴，即你与之同行的人，你是否有自己的核心圈子？继承是一个持续的过程，而不是简单的交接。
