A visionary founder’s instinct cannot be passed on from one generation to another.
Only when a vision in the form of a “Just Cause” is preserved on paper , can it be handed down from generation to generation.
Like the American Declaration of Independence which is a written statement of Just Cause , a written version of a Just Cause will survive to guide and inspire future generations beyond the founders and those who knew the founders.
Adopted from Simon Sinek’s book The Infinite Game.
“An idealized journey of a Just Cause feels like – no matter how much we have achieved , we feel we have further to go.A just cause if is like an iceberg , all we ever see is the tip of that iceberg.”

“To live our lives with an infinite mindset is to live a life of service.”

“Ethical decisions are not based on what is best for the short term.They are based on the “right thing to do”
Whereas short-termism at the expense of ethics slowly weakens a company “doing the right” thing slowly strengthens it.

Finite minded leaders with a bias towards “resources” before “will” willingly adjust their cultures to meet their priorities.
People are pitted against each other in such a low trust work culture which can eventually lead to ethical fading.
Adopted from Simon Sinek’s book The Infinite Game
“The postmortem after any scandal or case of ethical fading nearly always reveals a failure of leadership in creating a trust based work culture.”
