More quotes by Simon Sinek
If we don't give things a try, nothing will get off the ground.
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
And when a leader embraces their responsibility to care for people instead of caring for numbers, then people will follow, solve problems and see to it that that leader’s vision comes to life the right way, a stable way and not the expedient way.
Simon Sinek
I'm building on purpose. I'm building that tipping point. I'm building that law of diffusion of innovation.
Simon Sinek
Bad leaders believe that they have to project control at all times.
Simon Sinek
To operate based on conviction and belief requires an acceptance that your actions could get you fired. This is different from pig-headed bravado, and it is different from putting the company at risk.
Simon Sinek
A boss who micromanages is like a coach who wants to get in the game. Leaders guide and support and then sit back to cheer from the sidelines.
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. They are devoted. They compete to best themselves as much if not more than they compete to best others. Champions are not just athletes.

When you start with why, which decision you make becomes very easy. It is so hard to do when you may suffer a short term loss or you may lose out on some short term gain. But in the long run it's way more powerful and way more stable.
Simon Sinek
When my books came out, they started selling but they started selling at a relatively consistent but low pace. And they started to pick up the pace.
Simon Sinek
If you're not remarkable, you're invisible.
Simon Sinek
Pushing yourself to be the best is unsustainable. Simply push yourself to be better than the day before.
Simon Sinek
Good listeners have a huge advantage. For one, when they engage in conversation, they make people 'feel' heard. They 'feel' that someone really understands their wants, needs and desires. And for good reason a good listener does care to understand.
Simon Sinek
All the perks, all the benefits and advantages you may get for the rank or position you hold, they aren’t meant for you. They are meant for the role you fill. And when you leave your role, which eventually you will, they will give the ceramic cup to the person who replaces you. Because you only ever deserved a Styrofoam cup.
Simon Sinek
I'm very prescriptive about who I work with. I'm very clear about what I believe. If they believe what I believe I will work with them. If they say things like, Convince me we should do this. I walk away.
Simon Sinek
If you're looking for a book that will spike in sales and then go away and then spike again when it comes out in paperback, your normal model, I definitely won't give you that.
Simon Sinek
TiVo and other digital recording devices have confounded advertisers. The ad industry sees the technology as a threat to their product.
Simon Sinek
Leaders don’t complain about what’s not working. Leaders celebrate what is working and work to amplify it.
Simon Sinek
If somebody wants to learn their why, either you help them or send them over to their course. All of this stuff helps.
Simon Sinek
Emails get reactions. Phone calls start conversations.
