More quotes by Simon Sinek
We don’t do business with companies. We do business with people.
Simon Sinek
All organizations start with WHY, but only the great ones keep their WHY clear year after year. Those who forget WHY they were founded show up to the race every day to outdo someone else instead of to outdo themselves. The pursuit, for those who lose sight of WHY they are running the race, is for the medal or to beat someone else.
Simon Sinek
The ad industry thinks their clients are their customers. They think the companies who pay for the production are the ones they are supposed to serve. So the ads they produce make their clients happy... but infuriate the rest of us.
Simon Sinek
Risk deters those who see what they could lose. Those focused on the gain see it as a necessary part of their journey, even if the possibility of loss exists.
Simon Sinek
Babe Ruth was not afraid to strike out. And it was this fearlessness that contributed to his remarkable career.
Simon Sinek
The cost of leadership is self-interest.
Simon Sinek
Life changes for the better when we realize that we don't have to know everything and we don't have to pretend we do.
Simon Sinek
The more you inspire, the more people will inspire you.
Simon Sinek
Usually what happens is somebody grabs me and they always pull me off to the side. Nobody ever does it publically. They say, I didn't want to be here. Or, I don't usually like people like you. Or, I didn't believe the things you actually talked about would work. I'm here to tell you that you converted me. That happens a lot.
Simon Sinek
When a player has a slump, we do not trade them, we coach them. It is the same with our employees.
Simon Sinek
Pilots have their names painted just beneath the canopy of their aircraft. This gives the pilot a sense of ownership for his or her jet. What's more, like cars, each aircraft has its own personality, so it's important for a pilot to get to know and love his aircraft.
Simon Sinek
Quality effective leaders have the confidence to trust others to try, succeed, and sometimes to fail. We very often confuse personality with leadership. In other words, leadership is not about being a nice person or not a nice person.
Simon Sinek
Entrepreneurs see the thing they want or need, then try to figure out a process of how to get it. People who shouldn't be entrepreneurs see the standard process they need to go through to get the thing they want or need then decide if they want to go through that process.
Simon Sinek
Believing that your competition is stronger and better than you pushes you to better yourselves.
Simon Sinek
It's the discipline to understand that the things that might make you rich or things might make you famous are sometimes worth pursuing and sometimes are not.
Simon Sinek
Would anybody be offended if we gave a $150 million bonus to Gandhi? How about a $250 million bonus to Mother Teresa? Do we have an issue with that? None at all. None at all. Great leaders would never sacrifice the people to save the numbers. They would sooner sacrifice the numbers to save the people.
Simon Sinek
In the 1980s America reacted to the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan. We supported a war that left a nation torn to pieces. And as the last Soviet tank left the country, so did we.
Simon Sinek
Employees represent an opportunity to inspire not a burden to carry.
Simon Sinek
The bad leaders are the ones that push hard so they can gain, who brow beat us so that they can receive the benefit of our hard work, not so we can enjoy the success
Simon Sinek
I never set out to do the things I'm doing now.
