Are you BLINDLY trying to COPY a BUSINESS MODEL?Learn from this CASE STUDY about PITFALLS..
Adopted from the following great insight shared by Simon Sinek from his book Start With Why
United had TED ,Delta launched SONG but both failed , WHY?
In order to compete with the iconic brand SouthWest Airlines in the economy airline segment , United launced TED while Delta Airlines launched SONG.
Both these brands failed.It is not because of WHAT they did it is because noone was convinced WHY the brands existed in the first place.
SouthWest on the other because of their very clear and crisp messaging and communication of their WHY was able to have loyal customers unlike Delta and United.
Without a clear sense of WHY in their messaging the customers had to judge TED and SONG solely on price or convenience.
This the major reason both the brands failed.

Do you WANT to KNOW the DNA of HIGH PERFORMANCE TEAMS?This is it..
The book “Together is Better” by Simon Sinek tells us that human beings by nature love to socialize and try to find like minded individuals “who believe in what they believe”. This has been true right from the caveman times.

We see numerous such examples in our workplaces as well wherein trusting teams produce much better results and are much more motivated than teams filled with cynicism and distrust.
The following amazing quote of Simon Sinek summarizes high performance teams , the need of every workplace.
“A team is not a group of people who work together. A team is a group of people who trust each other.”

What does is TAKE to be a TRUE CHAMPION?Get the MINDSET RIGHT..
Adopted from the following great insight shared by Simon Sinek
“Champions are not the ones who always win races – champions are the ones who get out there and try. And try harder the next time. And even harder the next time. ‘Champion’ is a state of mind.
