On leaving things better than I found them

A few years ago, I decided that I needed an intro to my LinkedIn profile.

You know what I mean—the little snippet of introductory text at the top of your profile page.

For whatever reason, I felt compelled to add this bit—and struggled mightily with it.

How should I frame my career in three sentences?

Tough question.

Part of my answer was that I strive to “leave things better off than I found them.”

Quitting poses the implicit question: Have I?

I like to think I have—but the next two weeks offer an opportunity to evaluate whether or not that’s the case.
