    Lead life with Infinite Mindset

    Need of adopting an Infinite Mindset

    One thing which I have started doing differently is constantly making an effort to lead life with an infinite mindset.

    Adoption of such a mindset makes us forget about competition and helps us focus on making ourselves a better version by the day.

    Simon Sinek’s book The Infinite Game, enlightens us on the need to approach the game of life with such a mindset. He argues that winning does not matter in life or business, our goal should be to keep playing the game of life with an abundance mentality.

  • As a BUSINESS LEADER are you AWARE that the GAME of BUSINESS is indeed INFINITE?Learn to be an INFINITE PLAYER..

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

    Finite players – Obsessed with beating the competition , believe in short term gains

    Infinite players – Obsessed with the journey in trying to make a better version of their ownselves everyday.Not pertubed by competition.

  • Are you OBSESSED with WINNING?It’s never too late to realize what the GAME of LIFE is..

    Adopted from the following great insight shared by Simon Sinek

    “In the INFINITE GAME of LIFE , once we are born we are players.The ONLY choice we have is whether to PLAY with a FINITE MINDSET or an INFINITE MINDSET.”

  • The game of life offers us ONLY one CHOICE..Do you agree?

    Adopted from the following great insight shared by Simon Sinek

    “In the INFINITE GAME of LIFE , once we are born we are players.The ONLY choice we have is whether to PLAY with a FINITE MINDSET or an INFINITE MINDSET.”

  • Your mindset is a DIRECT function of how you deal with DISRUPTION..

    Adopted from the following great insight shared by Simon Sinek

    “Whereas a FINITE minded player FEARS things that are DISRUPTIVE and NEW , an INFINITE minded player REVELS in them.”

  • The difference between “Hiring for Compliance” vs “Hiring for engagement”

    Finite minded companies who think in terms of short term goals or targets invest on profit/resources over profits..These are workplaces wherein people are pitted against one another and collaboration or emotional quotient is given least significance.All they demand is efficient workers who are able to exhibit compliance

    As against this infinite minded organizations are driven by innovation and creativity.These are workplace where trustworthiness is given more value along with collaboration..People feel engaged in such workplace since their opinion counts and they receive the backing of their infinite minded leaders..

    The following quote of Simon Sinek aptly summarizes the difference and shows why in infinite minded organization people are prepared to give their blood , sweat and tear for an infinite minded leader..

    “If you hire people just because they can do a job, they’ll work for your money. But if you hire people who believe what you believe, they’ll work for you with blood, sweat, and tears.”

  • How organizations communicate their messages indicates their mindset

    An organization’s mindset whether finite or infinite is clearly reflected in all the organizational announcements and communications.

    The responsibility of any business is 1) to advance a purpose justifying the JUST CAUSE or vision 2) Protecting the supplier , employees and all in the ecosystem and 3) Generate profit

    if the communication starts with 3 then it clearly indicates a finite mindset whereas if the communication starts with 1 towards 3 then it clearly indicates an infinite mindset.

    Adopted from Simon Sinek’s book The Infinite Game

  • Characteristics of a work culture led by finite minded leaders

    Organizations led by finite minded leaders are characterized by work environments where people are pitted against one another to meet short term quarterly targets.

    These are leaders who give the utmost importance to performers who are high on IQ even if they are not team players and lack EQ.

    Such an environment is prone to ethical fading and is where people resort to unfair means and shortcuts to meet unfair targets.

    Ultimately such leaders who orchestrate such unhealthy work environments resort to layoffs by putting profit before people.

  • This piece of advice will inspire us to adopt an “Infinite Mindset”

    Adopted from Simon Sinek’s great sayings and advises all of us to adopt an infinite mindset for a better future in the infinite game of life

    “Now more than ever we need to embrace an INFINITE MINDSET.

    The FINITE MINDSET of opportunism , selfishness and panic will hurt all of us in the long run.

    Let us embrace GENEROSITY , SELFLESSNESS and CALM CAUTION as we navigate this together.”

  • This is the biggest difference between “finite” & “infinite” minded work environments

    Finite minded work environments are ones where individuals are pitted against each other to meet short term goals and targets.These are places where organizational politics exist due to people fighting against each other.

    On the other hand in infinite minded work environments , people have a sense of purpose and are constantly looking to outplace themselves by the day without focusing on competition.This is why these teams end up being high performance teams..
