I worked for a large company that offered me a 60 percent pay increase after I have been there a few months. I refused the increase and told my boss to give it to the employees. My boss said he could do that but the company had never done that before. A few days after I was offered the increase an employee said to me that he assumed I got a big pay increase. I said to him I was offered a pay increase but asked to have it go to the employees. He replied with a skeptical response. I told I would be glad to show him my pay stubs. That conversation ended and he walked away. A few days later the employees saw their pay increase. At the end of one year we had increased sales 3.2 times what it had been with no new employees.

A few questions for you. Why would the company decide after a few months you needed an increase? Why would you share a pay stub? If you made 100grand per year, 60 grand goes to employees. Large company would mean at least 50 employees. 30 employees would be a 1$ raise ...can't be the reason for 3 times increase in sales. Does this make sense? What else happened?

@@johncarlos7810 They had not been able to solve the problem in five years and I began to solve it in two hours. They offered me the pay raise. Sharing a pay stub called him on his skepticism. I said I wanted the pay raise to go to them but what I actually meant was for them to get a pay raise first. The company was paying out so much overtime that it was almost equal with their regular pay. They had about twice as many people as they needed for the sales they had. Once turned it around our profits increased over 10 times.There were many other things such as improving logistics. One of the employees began to plot the sales for each day. I would say the biggest thing was that they knew I cared about them and not just how much work they could do. There was an employee who came late sometimes. He came late one day and a customer was waiting for him. The employee was good with customers but his home life was not good and he came from a family in which several of his family were in jail. He had been late enough times that he could have been terminated and he knew that. When I spoke with him he brought that up and told me he deserved to be fired. I told him I had no intention of terminating him because he was a very good employee and all I wanted was for him to be on time so customers did not have to wait. He was never late again. He went on to do quite well and bettered himself a lot. I believe how I dealt with him at that moment was a huge turning point in his life. Later on he said he wanted to go to college and asked if he could continue to work there. I made it clear that I wanted him there and I also wanted him to do well as a person. The employees would wait at the end of the day to see how much we did in sales. In return both the employees and the company treated me well.

The most authentic and compelling definition of leadership to date.

Simon, you are WRONG. Everyone DOES NOT have the same capacity as Capt. Swenson who kissed his soldier. I have seen men run from combat while leaving a comrade to his demise or civil perils in which a mother will sacrifice her child so she can live. It takes a courageous person to possess the type of empathy it takes to see life as Capt. Swenson does. Courage is a rare quality in men and women these days because we are a tremendously self-centered society, and what Capt. Swenson did was selfless, and courageous.

Another masterpiece on leadership, it so true that there’s a huge difference between leadership and authority, and making people feel safe and protected by their leadership is one of those serious distinctions!

I am the boss at my work and since I start reading his book and I changed how I approach to my staff etc and it’s incredible that my staffs and work place mood, motivation, ethic is changing so fast.

Simons perspective is so inspiring. I truly hope Leaders in modern day business begin to adoption of these insights. It’s absolutely beautiful to have these types of beliefs to help improve our humanity. We need more love of people not love of profits in our democracy to create Peace and Prosperity for all .

That ending put a nice smile on my face. Bravo good sir.

Why this is rare to see such kind of leaders who is always available and ready to whatever it takes to be friendly and make comfortable their people. I hope more leaders will come in the world like you and people who is always available and supportive for their own people 💗

I have made reference to this speech so many times in the last few years. Probably… The most inspiring, humbling and thought provoking experience of my life. Investing in those around you, whether at work or elsewhere can only be of benefit to the teams in which we belong. Thank you Simon.

Six years ago I watched this video while I was contemplating a difficult decision. After watching it, I resigned from a very high paying job rather than firing others as I had been told to do. I never looked back. It changed my life for the better.

I really live for TED talks because it not only shows you an explanation and demonstration of what they speak about m but they also tell stories that really hit home such as this one. Being a college student currently, and taking communications as my major I was assigned multiple times to watch, review, and analyze TED talks, and other platforms like it. I really like this video because I am a leader in my own right. I also see how this makes complete sense because leadership takes sacrifice and motivation. I loved this video completely. Two thumbs up!

The importance of trust cannot be overstated in any organization. Excellent TED.

My teacher told me to watch some Simon Sinek videos. This is so inspirational and authentic compared to other TED talk videos that i saw. He wants people to understand something that not a lot of people think of. Mind you, i am only 13, and this is just amazing, it really taught me something. The future will lead us into safety and something that will keep our globe, a wonderful place. Leaders can protect us. I don't want to write an essay here, but if i would, it would be over 3 pages. I hope he continues to strive on believing his thoughts that people can follow. Its what people can learn from.

watching in the midst of covid-19 - this is exactly when we need more leaders like this

In my obsessed with learning and listening to interviews and public speeches era, so satisfying to be able to appreciate the life wisdom of many leaders in our generation. So thankful for the internet and the access of information!

I totally experienced both cases. I worked in different organizations. Worked with real leaders. Amazing people who going first and eating last. Also worked with people who only had authorities. I ended up firing them as being my leader/manager/boss and joining another company. You can't work/survive in such an environment. Now I'm leading a small team in a startup. Doing my best at supporting and coaching my team and learning how to be a leader. Great talk, Cheers to all leaders

Still always in awe with every video of Sir Simon Sinek that I watch.

As a combat Veteran, I miss that service and willingness to sacrifice. In the business world, I am successful but feel so alone working to build the greatest company. My coworkers checkout as soon as they walk out the door and I go to sleep thinking how can I make tomorrow bigger and better for the company I am now serving. The teamwork dynamic is so different in the civilian world, as soon as you fall in the corporate world your coworkers use it as an opportunity to step over you to further their success and motives. In the Army, we never left a fallen solider behind, and helped brush them off and filled the gap for the wounded or fallen, it was all in dedication of helping the entire team to succeed. Love your work and words, looking into the “why” of my life saved my life!

Lately I have been a little sad about the behavior of some companies in my country but today listening to you gave me HOPE and my tears came out not because of sadness but because of GREAT HAPPINESS. Thanks...thanks...thanks for your talk

I've noticed this too. This type of leadership is great, the problem that arises in when people take advantage and set a precedent for that type of behavior. These kind of disrespectful people need to be removed from the workplace before they poison the well.

I love this definition of leadership. Trust and safety is paramount when acting as a leader.

This video came up on one of the the many virtual trainings for managers at my job. This one was NOT a REQUIREMENT to watch and complete…but it should have been. This hit so hard for me… and he absolutely nailed it on the head. Since I first saw this video, I’ve watched it multiple times!!

Just... great. You are just ... wonderful. Your compassionate strength is truly admirable.

I'm this leader from the bottom. Quit my leadership career due to not finding a company that felt right. Found a basic job, been leading the work force without the supervisors knowing. People all come to me with problems and they all help me out when I had troubles. Supervisors eventually figured it out a year later. I explained why and how, now I got a new job.. :'-) let's hope this company, makes me as leader feel safe from the managers that "manage"

I discovered Simon Sinek with the "Why", but he is so inspirational... He has just described what I would consider as a key point in multi-cultural and intercultural management.

It's so good to see Simon every now and then. Just look at the actions of our so called 'leaders' in these times of hardship and struggle - you can see who the true leaders really are.

In times like these, great leaders emerge. I love this!

Love TED Talks. Love Simon Sinek. So much inspiration!

We have heard of many many war stories. I did not experience war but I went through rigorous training for war. Here, Simon has brought in a relevant analogy and relate it to safety. Wow, its amazing. A spart that ignites emotion and feeling.

Amazing - great take aways. The day I get granted the opportunity to gain a leadership role I will remember the importance of caring for my team. There is no I in tram, I myself know the importance of feeling safe in a work place and feeling in danger for someone’s insecurities. It’s a beautiful thing when you have a team you can trust. To all my safe leaders let’s continue to be great and inspire our front line employees. ❤️✌🏼

love to listen him again and again.. the way he starts and carries out his presentation is flawless truly amazing..

This is easily one of the best speeches that I have seen in my entire life!

Amazing amazing amazing. I've just discovered Simon Sinek today, and have been watching his videos for hours at this point. Wow.

Heart counts is what matters not head counts ; imagine what a world this would be if all leaders understood this ; such great words Simon ❤🙌

greater love has no man than this. to lay down his life, for his friend, stress was painful we should suffer then any of us should have to suffer a lot.

What I learnt: Great Leader makes his followers feel safe & protected "Leadership is a choice. It is not a rank." High rank = High Authority ≠ Good Leader

I witnessed the same situation on a southwest flight when someone tried to board ahead of time. The gate agent gently told the customer, oh you're just a little bit ahead of me, if you don't mind waiting a couple minutes i'll give your ticket a call. Super gentle, made the customer laugh and not be embarrassed. Love Southwest always.

From my bottom of My heart, I got the true meaning of Leadership roles and responsibilities to strongly shield their Team!!

This man really change how I see the world. Very happy to read his books. Hope you always spread your thought. Thank a lot!

This was really thought-provoking - and so appropriate for today's changing and stressful times.......thank you Simon - you inspire me!

This video contains an interesting concepts and valuable thoughts. This is such a refreshing perspective on a complex subject like leadership. Many people are drawn to Leadership roles but few are Leaders. Real leaders make their people feel safe amidst chaos and uncertainty. A good leader looks after their people, because they know that when people are taken care of, they will go above and beyond to take care of the leader and the cause. Each did has a reason, laying not over the water, but deep in the water. Each decision should be evaluated several times before be taken, or thrown away. So not all cases are the same, so lead is about making decision, and take all responsibilities for decision. This speaker hits the bullseye with his immaculate observations. Inspired leadership which makes people feel safe and trust their leadership empowers people to be their best versions of themselves and try new things. I just wish all leaders would take this to heart and lead in this way. There is a difference between leadership and authority. This is one of the best talks on leadership i've heard and will remember for a long time. Leadership is a choice, it's not a rank. 🙌

Great caption. Leaders make their managers or Boss safe because of their inputs to make them feel confidence. As long as their is love and understanding among themselves. They will surly hold your back behind their back is a sign that their leaders are in a save environment. Nice to see.

Je n'ai jamais entendu de pareils discours, de pareilles vérités qui me touchent énormément. De plus, vous dégagez une confiance et un aplomb quand vous parlez, qui me laisse sans voix. Ce sentiment intérieur que vous partagez est admirable... Merci Monsieur SINEK !

Absolutely true! I love this, our world would be very different if organizations would actually hold these characteristics!

Great speech. Being a leader can be so hard for many people. They believe managing and leading are the same thing. As a mid level manager, I admit I have a lot to learn but don't we all? I definitely got some great ideas from this video.

Another classic masterpiece,simple,inspiring,grounded and uplifting.

Phenominal !!! . Growing leaders must watch. Thanks Simon.

Great talk! Clearly we need a paradigm shift in how leaders lead!

I always learn from you!❤️ I lecture for free in the Philippines and spend my own money to feed my students! And I don't even teach in their school. I'm a retired U.S. architect and always been my vision to help others!❤️

I retired from the USAF 14 yrs ago. In that time I have never been able to answer the question, "What was it like to serve for 20 yrs?" It is hard to express in words the deep commitment, the satisfaction, the joy, the frustration, the chaos, the exhaustion, the sacrifice, and the exhilaration.......so usually I deflect the conversation. Simon explained it eloquently in 10 mins. Thank you Simon.

I can hear Simon speaking for hours and enjoy EVERY SINGLE MOMENT!

Simon Sinek's speaches are very inspiring and useful to CEO's & to leaders.

I felt like I was listening a great sermon of Jesus on the Mount. It just changes me the way I think towards others.

I have just fallen upon Simon Sinek this week. As it happens I am being made redundant this week and this is so apt for my circumstance. Compelling is an understatement. I have also started reading his "start with why" book which is exceptional and so truly obvious. Why have we not seen this before?

I wish this talk never ends, he is truly inspirational!
