Legacies are bequeathed regularly throughout an organization,
though they may not be named or recognized as such. Whenever
people take time to talk about their work, how it was accom-
plished, the learning that was gleaned, and then offer interpreta-
tion or words of wisdom about other alternatives, legacy is being
built, lived, and passed along.
