The fourth in Harry Kraemer's series of values-based leadership books, Your Values-Based Legacy: Making a Difference at Every Age and Phase of Life takes you on a journey of introspection and exploration to see how and where you can help make the world a better place. Former chairman and CEO of a multi-billion-dollar global healthcare company and now professor of management and strategy at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, Kraemer features first-hand accounts from dozens of people who are building legacies as they take on the biggest challenges on the planet, including poverty, hunger, inequality, climate and environmental change, education, and leadership development. From local projects within the community to leaving a global footprint for good, Your Values-Based Legacy captures the heart of what it means to care for others.

The book is organized around legacy as a continuum. In Part 1, Honoring Our Past, you explore the influences in your life—from family to teachers and role models. In Part 2, Celebrating Our Present, you reflect on the causes, challenges, and opportunities that resonate with you—and hear from others who are making a positive impact. In Part 3, Creating Our Future, you consider how to make your legacy sustainable, such as by passing the torch to the next generation.
