  • As an ENTREPRENEUR are you AWARE of a WORTHY RIVAL?This will ALWAYS KEEP you in the GAME..

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

    In a finite game e.g. football there are fixed set of players , rules are fixed , duration is fixed.As a result of this “winning” , being the “best” are options.

    In infinite games where duration in unknown , rules are not predefined , players are unknown it is of paramount importance to a player to keep playing with the goal of advancement of a “just cause”.

    In such a game where being the “best” or “winning” does not matter , it is very important to know and pick a “worthy rival” from whom a thing or two can learnt for survival in the long run.

  • As a LEADER what matters to you most , IQ or EQ?This INSIGHT will change you for good..

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

    Whereas performance relates to IQ(Intelligence Quotient) , trust relates to EQ(Emotional Quotient)

    Performance is given more value by finite minded leaders who put numbers ahead of people.

    Trust is given more value by infinite minded leaders who are willing to take the risks to form trusting teams.

    In the modern day workplace there is an increasing emphasis being given to trust since performance can be taught whereas trust is more human in nature.
