  • Weak organization cultures pave the way for BUREAUCRACY, this is why

    Adopted from the following great insight shared by Simon Sinek from his book The Infinite Game

    “In weak cultures, people find safety in the rules. This is why we get bureaucrats. They believe a strict adherence to the rules provides them with job security. And in the process, they do damage to the trust inside and outside the organization. In strong cultures, people find safety in relationships. Strong relationships are the foundation of high-performing teams. And all high-performing teams start with trust.”

  • Understanding CAUSE BLINDNESS

    Adopted from the following great insight shared by Simon Sinek from his book The Infinite Game

    “Cause Blindness is when we become so wrapped up in our Cause or so wrapped up in the “wrongness” of the other player’s Cause, that we fail to recognize their strengths or our weaknesses.”

  • An infinite mindset is about abundance mentality, read this to know more

    Adopted from the following great insight shared by Simon Sinek from his book The Infinite Game

    “An infinite mindset embraces abundance whereas a finite mindset operates with a scarcity mentality. In the Infinite Game we accept that “being the best” is a fool’s errand and that multiple players can do well at the same time.”

  • This is why striving to be BETTER than BEST makes more sense

    Adopted from the following great insight shared by Simon Sinek from the book The Infinite Game

    “Infinite-minded leaders understand that “best” is not a permanent state. Instead, they strive to be “better.” “Better” suggests a journey of constant improvement and makes us feel like we are being invited to contribute our talents and energies to make progress in that journey.”

  • This is the SIMPLEST illustration of INFINITE THINKING

    Adopted from the following great insight shared by Simon Sinek from his book The Infinite Game

    “To ask, “What’s best for me” is finite thinking. To ask, “What’s best for us” is infinite thinking.”

  • Leaders , first and foremost should be responsible for PEOPLE not RESULTS, this is why

    Adopted from the following great insight shared by Simon Sinek from his book The Infinite Game

    “Leaders are not responsible for the results, leaders are responsible for the people who are responsible for the results. And the best way to drive performance in an organization is to create an environment in which information can flow freely, mistakes can be highlighted and help can be offered and received.”

  • Wish all companies set their GROWTH targets based on this

    Adopted from the following great insight shared by Jim Collins from the book Good to Great

    “A company should limit its growth based on its ability to attract enough of the right people.”

  • This is the SOLE PURPOSE of BUREAUCRACY

    Adopted from the following great insight shared by Jim Collins from the book Good to Great

    “The purpose of bureaucracy is to compensate for incompetence and lack of discipline.”

  • Good is the BIGGEST ENEMY of GREAT , this will surely convince you

    Adopted from the following great insight shared by Jim Collins from the book Good to Great

    “Good is the enemy of great. And that is one of the key reasons why we have so little that becomes great. We don’t have great schools, principally because we have good schools. We don’t have great government, principally because we have good government. Few people attain great lives, in large part because it is just so easy to settle for a good life.”

  • Realizing VISION without the RIGHT PEOPLE is like a day dream , this is why

    Adopted from the following great insight shared by Jim Collins from the book Good to Great

    “First Who … Then What. We expected that good-to-great leaders would begin by setting a new vision and strategy. We found instead that they first got the right people on the bus, the wrong people off the bus, and the right people in the right seats—and then they figured out where to drive it. The old adage “People are your most important asset” turns out to be wrong. People are not your most important asset. The right people are.”
