Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Simon Sinek knows what it means to find purpose in work and take care of the people around us.
In this interview, Simon shares the story of the struggle he faced in his business that led him to write his seminal book “Start With Why” and the humbling experience with military members in Afghanistan that inspired him to write “Leaders Eat Last” to teach leaders how to create an environment that empowers humans to do remarkable things.
Simon Sinek believes in a bright future and our ability to build it together. Described as a visionary thinker with a rare intellect, Simon’s goal is to help build a world in which the vast majority of people go home every day feeling fulfilled by their work. He is the bestselling author of “Start With Why,” “Leaders Eat Last,” “Together Is Better,” “Find Your Why,” and “The Infinite Game.” He’s best known for popularizing the concept of WHY, which is one of the most watched TED Talks of all time. He speaks around the globe and has commented for local and national press, including the New York Times, Inc. Magazine, NPR, and Businessweek.
As Simon and Marie talk about his book “Leaders Eat Last,” you'll find new ways to become a great leader - in both business and life.

    @@suwan1986 I also have a boss that takes care of us and creates a space where we can become the best versions of ourselves. Regarding your wish to build and talk about a career plan, you have to know one thing. It’s your career not his or hers. You have to be 100% sure about why you want to have the career you want to have. Write it down. Then think about how you can achieve that why. Then you also write down what exactly are your options that you see having. Than make a big question mark under your options because you can never know which other options are really out there. Then approach your boss again and ask him/she if he/she can take the time to give you feedback to your career plan because you lay value on his/her opinion and experience. Then you will make it very hard for her/him to say no and if it’s still the case then look for a new job or look for a new mentor who doesn’t necessarily have to be your own boss. What was the question mark for? So you can give your mentor the opportunity to give you some ideas or insights or future plans where you could play a role in. Have the courage to ask and use your courage for your own good.

    I love when people say that! I can't wait until Simon's message FINALLY reaches the leadership in my company. They're ramping up as we speak for their version of the 80s corporate profit/growth push and keep asking us what WE are doing to grow the business while stripping away our holidays, multiplying our responsibilities, and increasing our work loads. I LOVED when the new CEO sent us a personal email from his home on Thanksgiving to thank us for being so dedicated, giving up a portion of our holiday to support our clients. Felt so much like "Let them eat cake" that I almost told him what he kiss while he was at his Thanksgiving dinner. Yes, this is 2020, and NO I'm not a millennial. There is a dwindling lack of respect for workers that has become so routine that we've normalized it. And then turn around and wonder (legitimately) why depression and suicide are skyrocketing?

    I have found that business owners are afraid to take care of their people because they worry that in doing so, their people will take advantage of them and get lazy. In my own business and coaching sessions, I am constantly amazed at how badly people want to devote themselves to your cause when you stick your neck out for them. People value loyalty, especially when it comes from the leader. Thanks for the interview Marie. Simon is one of my favorite.

I'm a leader in friendships when friends look to me for guidance. I'm not alone in this . . . all of us are leaders in many aspects in life. Listening to Simon will help me be a better leader in life . . . thank you Marie and Simon! xxoo

I get it now and realize I'd been shying away from assuming leadership roles because I had the misconception of what it meant. The whole idea of leadership being what you do within your sphere of influence to care for and promote growth in others...the light bulb came on. Adding this one to the list of videos I'll watch again and again.

I always put people first because that's what followers do, but I didn't connect the thought that Leaders ARE followers. They follow their why, and that why must be in line with helping their peers and prioritizing their needs above all other things. Real dope discussion!

    Hi Marie and Simon, one of the greatest Insight is about : leadership is not about taking charge. its about taking care of those in your charge. it is leaders' responsibility to take care of people and make them feel safe. There is also a book that says " Managers are everywhere, leaders arent many. " what defines and set Leaders and Managers apart? Looking forward to learn from a clip on that. Being in a developed bustling city like Singapore, Management skills seem to be more talked about than Leadership skills. Thank you once again for the great video! Feels sooooo happy when someone from miles apart on the other side of the earth speak the same language as my inner voice. Really feels the affirmation :)

    I am so blessed by this young man insight. Tears were coming down my eyes. I can remember in 2016- through 19 I had to deal with cruel leadership in a church where I served as an Associate Pastor. Just arrived in the US, I was called upon to serve as AP which I accepted. My wife and I having our little son diagnosed with autism and just lost a pregnancy which, this multi-million dollar church could only offer me $300 a month as allowance while the lead pastor took thousands of dollars home every month plus other great packages. A year later my wife gave birth to our second son. The $300 did not change. I had to buy diapers, provide food, pay rent and clothe my family. I end up riding Uber both night and day while going to serve the position 2 times morning and evening each day. Cruel leaders will go to hell speedily. At times I don't even see my family and sit for quite 4hrs in a week. At the end of my tenure they couldn't even be grateful of my services but God did. I ended up resigning from that church. And God began great works in me because I served him genuinely.

    My fav Marie video ever! Simon is awesome ... I can't get enough. As a small business with only a handful of employees, I work hard to implement his philosophy. I can see the positive effects on all but ONE. One employee relocated for this job having told me he had the experience needed. Turns out he doesn't ... but I have persevered, spending countless hours training him for a job that was supposed to free up my time to focus on growing my business (but now I am spending time on training him day in and day out). I try to charitable. He has a family to support. But my stress levels have gone up, not down since hiring him (and it's affecting the morale of other employees too).

Being the CEO or the Owner in my case doesn't mean you are the leader of the company; it means you are the leader of the people within. You job is to make the feel safe and confident so that they excel in their space. You may still deal with the clients or have other roles that you certainly always do your best at, but the focus should be on your people. As the leader I have always felt like I was doing it right, but I now see what I was not doing enough of. Thank you.

    Listening to him talk about his experience in a military environment, it hit home to me. After living & working in military bases in Japan, Bahrain & Iceland, I returned to the US with no expectation, but ready to face new experiences. Little did I know, I will feel alienated in the real world, and even after over 10 years in the same firm, It seems I don't feel I don't fit in, although my work is fulfilling, but there seems to be something lacking. I often think, what I feel is probably felt by the thousand men & women who return home from working overseas. I guess that's why I like his talks, he truly understand what's truly happening in the workplaces environment. He talks about the most simple & most complex issues. Thanks for posting!!!!

    This video came to me at just the right time!!! This has been so helpful for me to look at in my solo-prenuer business and my own family but most importantly in my life right now, I realize that the stress and tension that's been happening in the 4-H club that I've been General Leader of for 14 years is partly due to my poor leadership! Awesome thoughts and practices to implement as I strive to help build strong leaders in our youth through 4-H, not to mention my faith formation students and co-teachers at church..... Thank you Marie and Simon for giving your time and sharing your gifts and wisdom!

    Marie, you do good interviews. And thanks for doing this. Around 14:50, when Simon finished his story around army service men and ER, you moved directly onto the next question. It's ok for you show empathy and have a human response regarding the story. Acknowledging that deep story is very important. Interviews are not simply asking questions. That's my two cents. Wish you the best.

    So many delicious fruits (points) to choose from; each being better than the last. One I will choose is the notion that we call someone leader not because they're in charge but because they went first. Too many people on power trips and pulling rank to grind out results. Rather, inspire people and pull them along to accomplish worthy goals. Also, I love the fact that they both allude to the notion that we are all leaders - at any level and any position. If we all lead well, we would truly have a great society. Blessings to all.

    I'm impressed by Simon Sinek's perspective on leadership and by his experiences that he shared. I like his perception of leadership. However, I would like to add two counter points. 1. Sometimes keeping record of what you do well and your successes is for tracking your own personal growth, like keeping a journal, and not to protect yourself from a shaky environment. 2. He made a point that went past very fast that needs to be considered more deeply. It's been my experience and observation that some people are so self-centered and self-absorbed that now matter how supportive the environment is, they won't respond with more and better work, rising to the challenge. Instead, they will continue to do the minimum they can get away with. One such employee was even shocked when his boss was finally forced to let him go after frequent warnings to start working and stop sitting at his desk playing games. Simon did point out that this supportive environment doesn't rule out maintaining discipline in the workplace. While you operate from the heart, you must hold people accountable and, when they don't respond, cut them loose to go learn somewhere else. Such action will actually improve morale because the other employees notice when someone is a flake.

    I loved the ideas of leadership being "taking care of others in your charge" and creating a daily practice of leadership. That daily practice is basically the same concept as paying it forward. What a world we would live in if everyone practiced being a leader everyday.

    Agree with Simon's understanding that leaders need to take care of, nurture the people, coach and create the condition for safety at work/company. One concern I do believe everyone has responsibility to create their own history of accomplishments, portfolios and/or self evaluations evidence. Thanks MarieTV for fabulous speakers!

    Loved this video. Feel like Simon just nailed it! My thoughts on leadership were scattered before, although I intuitively knew it was way different from telling people what to do and wielding authority like a weapon. Simon put it into words I could get 100% when he said, leaders aren't the people in charge, they are the people taking care of the ones in their charge (note -- my memory on the wording may be a little off). He further got it soooo right in saying that you can only lead people, not lead a company. Now I know that leaders are the ones who step up to go first, take care of others around them, and create the environments that everyone needs (i.e. that the teams need, if at work) to be successful. Love also that he explained that feeling safe (which is tied to trusting leaders to take care of them and create safe environments) is a necessary part of being successful. He is correct in saying that people will put their sweat and tears behind leaders who are taking care of them, going first, and leading them to take care of others because I've experienced this when a work group was helping truly worthy non-profit org's (lots of oxytocin there!), but just couldn't explain why the people were being so awesome. We all can be leaders, with or without the official stamps. I appreciate Simon's saying that the position (the "stamp"), is just a matter of scale. I'd like to get my act together and know how to positively impact others before my actions go any larger in scale. :) Thanks! :)

    I love Simon's way of expressing his thoughts and ideas. His speaking style shows that his is passionate about the topic. I don't know if that is something that can be taught, a skill to develop, or it comes out naturally out of his passion about the topic. In either case, I wish all of our leaders speak like him.

Asked to choose the ONE thing that impacted me the most, it's that his discovery of the value of WHY came from his pain. I didn't know that. I've been trying to create impact through my strengths, and this awareness directs me to find the gems I've not mined from my pain. Mario and Simon, thank you both for your leadership.

    Thank you both for this great interview. I had an insight about the relationship with my wife. Throughout the stressful time of starting to raise kids while finishing my studies and her beginning her career we more and more realized how important it is for us to have a shared vision that in practice translates into a weekly organizer on the wall. The more precise that vision is articulated and the more efficient that organizer is used i get a clearer sense of the idea that this is the actual god or the good boss of our relationship. The authority we both look up to (when we look up at the wall). Before that and once in a while during the process we got in fights with eachother and i think mostly because the "working environment" was not a safe space and we developed the kind of hormonal situation as described by Simon about the workers with bad leadership. And mostly we use the organizer to do the things we love and get some rest. The duties are duties so there is no way around them. I got a lot of those ideas, e.g. the need to be able to negotiate with your partner from Dr Jordan Peterson. But Simons idea of the environment was also very striking to me. Thanks again All the best from Germany
