  • Understanding the Golden Circle

    As shown in the snapshot , the WHY and HOW in whatever we do relates to the LIMBIC or emotional brain which only understands signals.

    WHAT we do is directed related to the rational brain or neo cortex since this can be reasoned out logically

    Adopted from Simon Sinek’s book Start With Why and this is a lesson how to direct communication to produce a desired effect

  • Nested WHYs in great organizations – Find Your Why

    Lowest Level of organization is an employee – Individual WHY

    Employee belongs to department – Each department has specific WHY

    Each department rolls up to the entire organization – Organization WHY

    Individual WHY rolls up to department WHY & Organization WHY

    Department WHY rolls up to organization WHY

  • The journey of WHY Discovery for individuals – Lessons learnt from “Find Your Why”

    Find Your Why from Simon Sinek , David Mead and Peter Docker is the follow up book to Start With Why by Simon Sinek.

    The Why Discovery for individuals is something I found simply fascinating.

    The distance the authors have gone in explaining the scientific approach to discovering WHY is simply awesome.

    An individual who needs to discovery his/her WHY needs to first find a friend or a trustworthy person who would help with the discovery.Such a person should be chosen very judiciously.The person needs to be a very good listener and should not have prejudiced views.Eagerness and inquisitiveness in helping a friend discover WHY is also a very important criteria.

    After the facilitator is chosen the following are the three steps:

    1. Gather stories about the life of the person – These stories should have some special place in the life of the person.
    2. Find out patterns – From the facts noted from the stories , try to find out meaning and connect the dots.
    3. Draft a WHY – Based on the above analysis , try to draft a WHY in the following format:

             TO___________________(contribution) SO THAT_____________________(impact)

     The draft WHY is in no means going to be 100% perfect at the first attempt and this needs to be refined going forward.All this exercise would do is to set a foundation for creation of a WHY.

    For more details I would sincerely encourage readers to go through the book FIND YOU WHY.Believe me it would an absolutely unbelievable experience.
