Build to Last continued- clock builder vs time teller

Bismillah

In chapter 2, Collins discuss the importance of being a clock builder vs time teller. A person who can tell time by just looking at the stars has a remarkable skill, but the person who can build a clock that can tell time forever even after he/she is gone is more remarkable. 

Similarly visionary companies had leaders and systems that worked on building lasting companies rather than focusing on increasing one's influence or ego within the company.

In own lives and within our companies, are we taking actions that focus on making the best company or the best possible family, or we taking steps that only benefit us personally? This is my biggest reflection from this chapter.
