“A COMMUNITY is a GROUP of PEOPLE who AGREE to GROW together.”
Knowing this definition makes it easier for us to understand the importance of having people in a TEAM who BELIEVE in what a LEADER believes and more importantly the power of SOCIAL BONDS.
Adopted from Simon Sinek’s quotes
Adopted from the following great quote of Simon Sinek , this is what Great Leaders are known for and hence they are so meticulous about Succession Planning.
“The GREATEST contribution of a LEADER is to MAKE OTHERS LEADERS.”
In FISH PHILOSOPHY by Chris Lundin the following is mentioned as one key principle:
“Make It Their Day”
The following inspirational quote from Simon Sinek endorses the same fact:
“The MORE people you INSPIRE , the MORE people will INSPIRE YOU.”
Life is NOT a competition , it is an INFINITE GAME where we all are PLAYERS.
The only choice that we have is to play with either a FINITE or INFINITE mindset.
The following inspirational quote from Simon Sinek summarizes this very fact:
“In the GAME of LIFE , we only get ONE choice.
Once we are born we are PLAYERS.
The only choice that we have is to play with a FINITE mindset or an INFINITE mindset.”
Life like business is an INFINITE GAME.Nothing highlights this better than the following quote of Simon Sinek:
“Life is NOT a COMPETITION , it is a GAME.
It is NOT about WINNING or LOSING , it is about all the FUN we can have before it ENDS.”
Understand this truth would help all of us lead a fulfilled life.
“The ability to adopt an INFINITE MINDSET is a pre-requisite for any leaders who aspires to leave THEIR organization in BETTER SHAPE than they FOUND it.”
Think about Apple , SouthWest , CostCo etc. all of them have been led by such infinite minded leaders
Adopted from Simon Sinek’s quotes.
“The MIND can be CONVINCED but the HEART must be WON.”
This is a very famous quote of Simon Sinek adopted from his book Together is Better.
The human rational brain is used for analysis and understands language , rational thought and logic.
But more often that NOT it is the limbic brain that understands only signals , emotion , love , affection that has to be CONVINCED in order to result in CHANGE.
“Trust is BUILT on telling the TRUTH , NOT telling people what they want to HEAR.”

“We fight AGAINST things we HATE.
We fight FOR things we LOVE.”
Adopted from Simon Sinek’s quotes
When the person who personifies the WHY departs without clearly articulating WHY the company was founded in the first place , they leave no clear CAUSE for their successor to lead.
The new CEO will focus on WHAT rather than the WHY.Worse they may even try to implement their own VISION without considering the JUST CAUSE.
In these cases the leader can work against the CULTURE of the company rather than building it.The results is poor culture , poor performance , mass exodus to name a few.
