Leadership Legacy: Building a Culture That Outlives You
About the Session
Every leader leaves a legacy—whether it’s intentional or not.
In industries like aviation, aerospace, and defense, leadership transitions are inevitable. But too often, leaders focus on short-term metrics and immediate deliverables, leaving little thought for the cultural, operational, and talent structures that remain after they’re gone.
This month’s Elevate Executive Exchange will explore how leaders can intentionally shape a legacy that strengthens the organization, fosters inclusivity, and ensures women and underrepresented talent have clear pathways to leadership long after the current leadership team has moved on.
Who Should Attend
C-suite leaders, executives, and board members
HR, talent, and leaders responsible for succession planning

What We’ll Explore
How leadership behaviors ripple beyond a single tenure
Why culture is the most enduring part of your leadership legacy
Building systems that outlast individuals and preserve equity
Succession planning that actively includes women and diverse talent
Practical steps for embedding inclusive leadership into the organizational DNA
Why It Matters
Leaders often underestimate the lasting impact of their decisions. When leadership transitions happen without a strong legacy plan, hard-won progress—especially in diversity and inclusion—can disappear overnight.
An intentional leadership legacy ensures your influence endures and that the culture you’ve built continues to attract and elevate top talent for years to come.
