The following quote from Simon Sinek highlights the fact that when alone we are weak but when we shed egos and reach out for help we can do remarkable things together.
“To OVERCOME our CHALLENGES all that is required is the COURAGE to ASK for HELP.”
The following quote of Simon Sinek aptly highlights the fact that a LEADER is not one because of rank or position.Leadership has to be earned from followers.
“A LEADER without a TITLE is BETTER than a title WITHOUT the ability to LEAD.”
The Stockdale Paradox is stated as follows:
“Retain faith that you will prevail in the end , regardless of the difficulties
AND
At the same time confront the most brutal facts of your CURRENT REALITY , whatever they might be.”
A great organization or an individual realizes that there would not be good times always.Sometimes the tide will be rough and sometimes smooth.
It is when the tide is rough , the “never say die” attitude prevails in the end and truly separates great individuals and organizations from the rest.
The Stockdale Paradox teaches us to be tenacious to tide through the rough times.

“Optimism is the ability to FOCUS on where we are going , NOT where we are coming from.”
The following quote adopted from Simon Sinek’s book Together is Better makes us realize why being Together is indeed Better.
“To go FAST go ALONE , to go FAR go TOGETHER.”
Nothing summarizes this very truth than the following quote from Simon Sinek:
“TRUST is BUILT on telling the TRUTH , NOT telling people what they want to hear.”
An iconic and infinite minded leader who loves his organization is one who does thorough and precise succession planning to ensure that the organization is in good hands even after he/she leaves the organization.
In essence the reason the organization exists i.e. the WHY should not be lost when the visionary leader leaves.
Nothing summarizes this better than the following great quote of Simon Sinek , adopted from The Infinite Game.
“The ability to adopt an INFINITE MINDSET is a pre-requisite for any LEADER who aspires to leave their organization in better shape than they found it.”
Life is an infinite game where there is nothing like WINNING or LOSING.In the game of life there is only STAYING AHEAD or BEHIND.
The only choice that we have in life is to choose to play the INFINITE GAME with either an INFINITE or FINITE mindset.
The option that we choose to play the game in the end reveals whether we are playing for the short term or we are long term oriented.
