15 Years Later: "How Great Leaders Inspire Action" by Simon Sinek

startup entropy

Arguably one of my favorite videos on counter-cultural thinking that challenges a companies' reason to exist. Simon Sinek presents a concept that could change "how" you think about what motivates people, differentiates a company and makes a lasting impression through a company's mission. This video went live about 15 years ago and is still a relevant watch for any entreprenuer. If you have never seen this video... you are welcome. If you have seen it... maybe it's worth a re-watch. 

 

Insights

  • Simon Sinek's "Golden Circle" represents the "what," "how," and "why" of a companies existence
  • We differentiate our organization and focus on our execution via communicating our purpose from the inside out not the outside in (as most companies do)
  • Starting with the "why" you do something before the "what" and "how" is a way for leaders to inspire action and motivate others
  • Learn from select companies/people that effectively embraced this concept and clearly defined their "why"
