A boss wants to pay for results, an employee wants recognition for effort. If a boss recognizes effort, they will get even better results.
Simon Sinek -
Reality will always prevail so why help it? Be an idealist and see what happens.

I've been dogmatic to use myself as a case study.

If you look at the average age of a company on the Dow Jones index, it's something like 35 years or younger. In other words... success is no indication of longevity.

Leadership is not a license to do less. Leadership is a responsibility to do more

I have friends who are majorly into the cosplay culture and have urged me to go to a convention for no other reason than to meet others like me.
Simon Sinek -
Most years, if you were to ask me how much I make, the genuine answer is that I have no clue. I usually find out the answer to that question once a year, at tax time, when my accountant tells me.
Simon Sinek -
In this age of omniconnectedness, words like 'network,' 'community' and even 'friends' no longer mean what they used to. Networks don't exist on LinkedIn. A community is not something that happens on a blog or on Twitter. And a friend is more than someone whose online status you check.
Simon Sinek -
The big picture doesn't just come from distance; it also comes from time.
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.

A five minute call replaces the time it takes to read and reply to the original email and read and reply to their reply... or replies. And I no longer spend 20+ minutes crafting the perfect email - no need to.

TiVo and other digital recording devices have confounded advertisers. The ad industry sees the technology as a threat to their product.
Simon Sinek -
Disney became hated. It became one of the evil corporations. It used to be loved. They couldn't hold onto talent; they couldn't attract talent. Some of their products did badly. The Californialand project was a $5 billion waste of money. They couldn't make it work. The magic had gone, no pun intended.
Simon Sinek -
The irony is, the advertising industry knows everyone hates what they produce. This is why they keep looking for new ways to force people to stay tuned.
Simon Sinek -
Hearing is listening to what is said. Listening is hearing what isn't said.

If you're looking for a New York Times best-seller, I may or may not give you that.

Pure pragmatism can't imagine a bold future. Pure idealism can't get anything done. It is the delicate blend of both that drives innovation.
Simon Sinek -
When we tell people to do their jobs, we get workers. When we trust people to get the job done, we get leaders.
Simon Sinek -
For values or guiding principles to be truly effective they have to be verbs. It's not "integrity," it's "always do the right thing." It's not "innovation," it's "look at the problem from a different angle." Articulating our values as verbs gives us a clear idea - we have a clear idea of how to act in any situation.
Simon Sinek -
The mind can be convinced, but the heart must be won.
