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.

PRAISE FOR Your Values-Based Legacy

“Your Values-Based Legacy is required reading for anyone seeking to understand what it means to build a compelling legacy. Both philosopher and practitioner, Kraemer offers powerful guidance for every point of our lives. My most valuable epiphany...meaningful legacy starts at the beginning and never stops―far from being an end of career phenomenon.”
―GREG CASE, CEO of Aon, plc

“In this truly remarkable book, Harry Kraemer does a fabulous job of showing us how we can build a lifelong legacy of impact through the values-driven choices we make every day. He encourages us to look inward, rediscover the values modeled by our families and mentors, and use that moral foundation to create positive ripples in the world. This book is a powerful call for every one of us to embrace our potential to make an extraordinary difference.”
―HUBERT JOLY, former CEO of Best Buy, senior lecturer at Harvard Business School and author of The Heart of Business

“Harry Kraemer’s newest book is a must-read. Earlier in my career I thought that legacy creation was for ‘later,’ as being an executive and busy mom was enough for ‘now.’ Harry helps us learn how we can begin to set the stage throughout our lives to build the framework for the legacy we hope to leave.”
―MARY DILLON, CEO of Footlocker and former CEO of Ulta Beauty

“Drawing from his extensive career with Baxter International and Northwestern University, Harry provides insightful guidance on honoring our past, celebrating the present, and creating a future legacy that reflects our core values. It inspires readers to take conscious steps towards creating a fulfilling and purpose-driven life―starting today. This book is a must-read for anyone looking to make a difference and leave a legacy to be proud of.”
―DR. MARSHALL GOLDSMITH, Thinkers50 #1 Executive Coach and New York Times bestselling author of The Earned Life, Triggers, and What Got You Here Won’t Get You There

“Harry Kraemer’s new book, Your Values-Based Legacy, not only belongs in your library at home next to his other books, but more importantly it needs to be in your heart and your head. Our legacy depends on the choices we make now, and our choices for doing good for others will inspire and encourage those who come after us. And that goodness in action goes forth like a ripple effect: ever farther and ever greater.”
―REV. FRANCIS JOSEPH HOFFMAN, CEO of Relevant Radio

Aus dem Klappentext

Your Values-Based Legacy:Making a Difference at Every Age and Phase of Life explores how everyone―regardless of their career status or personal resources―can intentionally build a legacy that truly makes the world a better place. Although the word “legacy” today is most often associated with money and estate planning/inheritance, this book seeks to expand “legacy” beyond raw numbers to make the concept more self-reflective, spiritual, and intentional.

This book differentiates itself by challenging all readers to think about how they are making a difference right now―regardless of where they are in their lives. The messages, stories, and reflections in the book will resonate with a broad range of readers, whether they are still in college, just starting their careers, advancing into leadership, or considering their “second acts” after retirement.

Harry Kraemer, Professor of Management and Strategy at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management and former chairman and chief executive officer of a multibillion-dollar global healthcare company, provides a blueprint for making life more meaningful by showing that we do, indeed, matter within our families and among our friends, colleagues, neighbors, community members, and even society. In a world that seems more divided than ever, focusing on the commonality of legacy can help build bridges and create connections that reflect our values.

You don’t have to be a millionaire to leave a values-based legacy. Your Values-Based Legacy: Making a Difference at Every Age and Phase of Life is an essential read for individuals of all ages who want to ensure they leave behind a powerful resonance of their core values through their words, actions, and how they interact with the world at large in everything they do.
