  • How a VISION is like a DREAM?

    Adopted from the following leadership quote of Simon Sinek , book named Together is Better.

    “A VISION is like a DREAM – it will disappear unless we do something with it.

    DO something BIG or DO something SMALL.

    But stop wondering and go on an ADVENTURE.”

  • Fulfillment comes when we have a sense of purpose

    Adopted from the following great quote of Simon Sinek from the book Together is Better.

    “Most of us live our lives by accident – we live as it happens.

    Fulfillment comes when we live our lives on PURPOSE.”

  • Why do NAVY SEALS prefer Trust over Performance?

    Whereas Performance relates to technical competence , Trust relates to character.

    In summary Performance is related to IQ whereas Trust relates to the ability to collaborate with everyone , being likable and relates to EQ.

    Hence NAVY SEALS prefer leaders who have high EQ over those with high IQ.

    Adopted from Simon Sinek’s book The Infinite Game.

    Adopted from Simon Sinek’s leadership quote:

  • What is the BEST MANTRA to LEAD a FULFILLING LIFE?

    Inspired from Simon Sinek’s great leadership quotes, this insight highlights the best mantra to lead a fulfilling life.

    “There is NO such thing as WINNING BUSINESS or WINNING LIFE.

    There is only AHEAD and BEHIND.”

  • The Infinite game needs more “Type I” players

    Simon Sinek’s book The Infinite Game talks about business and life as both Infinite Games where the rules are not defined , the players are unknown and the time is unlimited.

    In both business as well as life , there is nothing like “Winning” or “Losing”.There is only “Ahead” or “Behind”.

    Needlessly to say players in an infinite game need to think of the long term and need to possess an infinite mindset.

    Daniel Pink in his book Drive categorizes such people who are intrinsically motivated towards a JUST CAUSE as “Type I” or intrinsically motivated personalities.Being intrinsically motivated makes these people use autonomy and mastery to work towards a vision or a JUST CAUSE rather than working for money i.e. short term winning.

    Hence the infinite game of life needs adoption of a mindset similar to that of “Type I” personalities.

  • This quote inspires us to be our natural selves

    Adopted from Simon Sinek’s following inspirational quote:

    “Our friends do not love us for what we do.

    Our friends love us for who we are.”
