Simon Sinek

Leadership is not achieved by an individual. Leadership is bestowed by the group.

A group of followers has strength because of its numbers. _x000D_ A following has power because of its beliefs.

We learn most not from all of the things that go right. We learn most when everything goes wrong.

The value we provide most to others is the same value we appreciate most from others.

A true friend is someone with whom protocol is no longer necessary.

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.

We last longer if we compete against ourselves for the good of others instead of competing against others for the good of ourselves.

True love is when both people think they have the better half of the deal.

Trust is built on telling the truth, not telling people what they want to hear.

Average companies give their people something to work on. The most innovative organizations give their people something to work toward.

Stand for people. Not a product or service or metric or number. If we stand for real, living, breathing people, we will change the world.

People will do as they are told by someone who outranks them, but they will only follow someone they believe in.

Communication is not about speaking what we think. Communication is about ensuring others hear what we mean.

The value of experimentation is not the trying. It's the trying again after the experiment fails.

The challenge of the unknown future is so much more exciting than the stories of the accomplished past.

It doesn't matter how much we know, it matters how clearly others can understand what we know.

Work hard to seem infallible and others will work to find our flaws. Admit our shortcomings and others will work to help us be infallible.

Great leaders give everyone something to believe in, _x000D_ not something to do.

The next time someone starts listing all the reasons an idea won't work or can't happen, ask them to give 3 reasons it can.

What good is it to have a belly if there's no fire in it? Wake up, drink your passion, light a match and get to work.

Leadership is about making people feel safe. When someone feels heard, they feel safe.
