Simon Sinek Explains What Almost Every Leader Gets Wrong | Inc.

1) Have a just cause 2) Have a trusting team 3) Have a worthy rival 4) Have the ability to make a existential flex 5) Have the courage to lead

The interviewer is quite nice. Usually interviewer far to often disrupts guest with questions. But he just asked a question, let Simon talk over that, and listened, really listened.

25 years ago I remember taking over a failing contract where I was told to babysit while my company tried to get out of it. While ther i thought I would do my best to help the staff who were completely demoralised. We ended up saving and turning the contract around, the team worked for standard rate in overtime and the company ended up with a successful contract that they kept. I am now coming to the end of my career and from this I can now see I was playing the infinite game because the rules of the finite game were taken away from me. I wish I had realised or had seen this back then as I'm sure I would have been so mush happier in my life an career! Please take note everyone.

Simon Sinek - your intelligence on these subjects are unrivaled. Thank you for bringing these ideas to light.

"How can you expect a company to have a consciousness when it has no body to be kicked and no soul to be damned?"

I appreciate the interviewer’s questions. I just attended Simon’s tour in New York and my main question was, ”How do we practically apply this thinking?” Very glad to hear the answers here.

The interviewer did such a good job. I loved all of the questions and his focus on Simon rather than himself as many others would do.

Every time I watch him I keep learning something new

I love the way this man thinks and talks. there is so much openess to explorer and be better, not only in business, but in other aspects of life too. because it is about relationships. Good relationships are built and forged over time. Facts (known) and theorems held should be second priority but they should be tweaked and/or discarded as more knowledge is uncovered.

Now apply this to the US educational system. I would imagine it moving from yearly end goals, to project based learning.

I love how intrigued the interviewer is

I work for a finite company that thinks they are an infinite company. Talk about frustrating. It’s only about the numbers and beating last years numbers by x%. Then forecasting numbers for the next 5 years. A complete waste of time and such a time waster. Instead of being focused on innovation, we are forever chasing our tails

Simon's perspective is always on point. Big fan of putting his wisdom into practice.

Crazy how accurate this is.

I was feeling this Simon Sinek vid a lot more than many I've seen. Really good insight🤙

I'm feeling the pressure Thank you for this!

This cameraman must be an infinite thinker trying to capture a finite target

This is so true. I work for a pioneer company in the hospitality distribution industry and I see so many holes in things.

Excellent interview. He articulated many of the thoughts I’ve had over the last few years about the moribund nature of business and the all too-frequent bounding of decision making in unhelpful metrics and structures.

You are explaining exact how our system works . My profession is a specialist in consumer finance for the last 20 years and I’ve often worked with colleagues who want to be the best in making money and colleagues who want to ensure that the costumers get the best advice for what kind of product they must chose for their financial future . Commerce vs ethnic, for many it’s a struggle!
