Uncover the e-book that’s charming thousands and thousands on TikTok and that served as the idea for some of the well-liked TED Talks of all time – with greater than 56 million views and counting. Over a decade in the past, Simon Sinek began a motion that impressed thousands and thousands to demand function at work, to ask what was the why of their group. Since then, thousands and thousands have been touched by the facility of his concepts, and these concepts stay as related and well timed as ever.
Begin with Why asks (and solutions) the questions: Why are some folks and organizations extra progressive, extra influential, and extra worthwhile than others? Why do some command higher loyalty from prospects and workers alike? Even among the many profitable, why are so few in a position to repeat their success time and again?
Individuals like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in widespread, however all of them began with why. They realized that individuals will not really purchase right into a product, service, motion, or concept till they perceive the why behind it.
Begin with Why exhibits that the leaders who’ve had the best affect on this planet all assume, act, and talk the identical means – and it is the other of what everybody else does. Sinek calls this highly effective concept The Golden Circle, and it supplies a framework upon which organizations may be constructed, actions may be led, and folks may be impressed. And all of it begins with why.

A MASTER book of other books!!!
THIS IS THE GREATEST BOOK EVER PUBLISHED IN THE LAST 10 YEARS!!!If I could give this book 10 stars, I would! This book beats many other books. This book is so exciting to read that I read it three times! The beginning of the book said it extremely well — This book is about an unique kind of leadership that has the natural recurring pattern of inspiring, influencing and affecting people. It is about a very small group of leaders that achieve disproportionate amount of influences in their industries/areas compare to other leaders. The most prominent example is, of course, Steve Jobs who displayed a recurring pattern of changing one industry after another.(Of all the books that study Steve Jobs, this is probably the best one although it is not a book on Jobs’ biography. However, this book offers the best angle to understand his motivation and influence.)The core of this book is about the kind of WHYs that a special kind of leaders has that enable them to have the natural recurring pattern of inspiring, influencing and changing people and industries. The prime examples of this kind of leaders quoted in this book are Steve Jobs, Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Wright Brothers.This book is revolutionary. All the top business schools should reevaluate their curriculum based on this book! All the top business consultants should reconsider their theories and recommendations based on this book! All the writers on leadership should read this book and revise their theories! All political leaders in the world should read this book! All board of directors of corporations should read this book and learn how to select the next CEOs! …This book can be considered the MASTER book to be read before reading books like “From Good to Great”, “Stall Points”, “The Innovator’s Dilemma” and the follow-on books, “Crossing the Chasm” …The central theme of this book is WHY — the essence, the core, the purpose of a person’s life, of leadership, and the starting point of a corporation. Without the clarity of this WHY, the life of a person, the leadership, and the products and services offered by a corporation are all fuzzy and treated as commodities. This is so very true. Look around us: Though we (persons, organizations and corporations) are special in some ways, yet we are almost all commodities — except the very few that display the recurring pattern of major changes and influences such as Jobs, Apple and Google. These are the ones that have the clarity of WHY and the discipline of diligently and strictly enforcing their HOWs (principles, methods, criteria) in producing the WHATs (behaviors, products and services).There are three views of WHY + HOW + WHAT presented in this book:1. Looking from the top — the WHY in the center, the HOW in the middle and the WHAT in the outer layer form a GOLDEN CIRCLE.2. Looking from the side — the WHY at the top layer, the HOW in the middle layer and the WHAT in the bottom layer form a cone.3. Viewing in three dimensions — with the external world attached to the base of WHAT, the whole thing is a megaphone for the leader or corporation to sound out its WHY.These views are wonderful ways for us to look at leadership, to understand the life cycle of a corporation, and summarily see why companies thrived and why they died. These views can even be applied to our personal lives.Of course, this book has some blemishes. But these defects do not distract from its greatness.1. The grammar is terrible. The whole book should be reviewed by a competent editor.2. The WHYs are not strictly examined and evaluated. This book treats all WHYs from leaders, entrepreneurs and corporations as equal when in fact they are not. Probably most of the WHYs are the rewording of WHATs in disguise. Maybe a lot of WHYs are re-branded HOWs. Perhaps only a small number of WHYs can have the recurring pattern of inspiration and influence. I hope the future editions of this book can elucidate this point.3. The HOWs gets much less treatment than the WHYs and WHATs in the book. It would be great if this topic is covered in more detail.4. Maybe 60% of this book is about corporations and not on leadership as claimed in the beginning of the book. I hope the author can focus more on the recurring pattern of inspiration and influence of leadership.5. Not everything stated in this book is correct. The points discussed in this book about Jobs and Apple are good examples. Please read “Inside Apple” and Jobs biographies for more correct views on Jobs and Apple.At the first reading, the book seems repetitious. The WHY, HOW and WHAT get repeated over and over. However, on the 2nd and 3rd reading, this apparent repetition disappears and you can see the different points that the author was trying to emphasize.I would like to recommend some future topics or books for Simon Sinek:a) Qualify and rank levels of WHYs — not all WHYs are equal. Probably some are top-notch while most are mediocre. Also, tell us how to construct best kinds of WHYs.b) Compare the WHYs to big tech companies, the WHYs of big Wall Street firms (if they have any???) and the WHYs of big retail companies.c) Compare the WHYs of big empires in historyd) Compare the WHYs of nations in WWI and WWIIe) Compare the WHYs of great leaders in historyf) Compare the WHYs of great geniusesg) Consider how WHYs can be incorporated into Teachers’ College (Ed College). It is the teachers who educate our future generations. They need to be thoroughly immersed in the understanding of The Golden Circle, The Cone and The Megaphone.h) Consider how WHYs can be incorporated into the K-12 and the college educationg) Consider how WHYs can be incorporated into and how HOWs can be enforced in our political systems. We have far too many politicians and not enough true leadersi) Consider how WHYs can be incorporated into our law schools. Our lawyers really need a strong dose of treatment.In summary, this book is dynamic. It’s a dynamite! It’s the best book I have read in the last 10 years!

Each chapter has a valuable ‘WHY’
I loved this book, very inspiring! It delves deep into various facets of âgreat leadershipâ and offers a wealth of actionable insights. All centered around one core theme, âstart with WHYâ. In fact, I loved it so much that I ordered three copies of this book to gift to my close friends.Addressing some of the comments from the other reviewers, I mainly see two concerns:1. All the concepts are presented in the TED talk already, so we can skip reading this book.2. There is a lot of repetition in the book – repetition of the same examples/concepts over and over again.I have seen Mr. Sinekâs famous TED talk before as well as after reading this book and here is how I compare them. The TED talk is an excellent trailer for the material offered in this book. Mr. Sinek (in this book) presents the âWHY conceptâ as a framework and then shows how this framework can be applied to different phases/aspects of leadership. âDecision makingâ, âTrustâ, âAuthenticityâ, are a few leadership aspects that he expands on. Since the same framework is applied to many different aspects and scenarios, we do find that some text and examples are repeated. However, if we patiently continue, weâd find that there is a new, different point being made in every chapter. Overall, regarding the above two concerns – I disagree with the first, while I do have to partially agree with the second.The book teaches a lot about leadership. Here is what youâd learn in each chapter. In other words, here is my âwhy listâ for this book:1. Why âdecision makingâ canât always be data-driven?2. Why leaders who choose to inspire (as opposed to those who manipulate) command âloyaltyâ?3. WHY is the center of the âgolden circleâ. Introduction to the golden circle.4. Why does the human brain/thinking align with the golden circle? The biology of it.5. Why and how good leaders achieve âauthenticityâ?6. Why and how good leaders manage to earn the trust of their followers/team? 1. Why good leaders hire for culture-fit rather than for mere skill?7. Why do greater leaders have this charisma, due to their ability to communicate âtheir whyâ clearly? 1. Why focusing on early adopters is important? Law of diffusion of innovations.8. Why and how good leaders build partnerships with (how-to) people who can execute the vision to reality?9. Why good leaders should do âwhat they doâ (your actions/results) to reflect their âWHYâ (vision)?10. Why leaders use their âWHYâ (vision) to filter their decision making?11. Why and how good leaders are successful (and feel successful) every day?12. Why good leaders/companies impart their âsense of whyâ into their culture?13. WHY of an individual depends upon his past and upbringing. Mr. Sinekâs WHY.14. WHY can keep you going on a long journey in-spite of failures.

Das Buch unterscheidet sich von den restlichen Selbsthilfebücher, indem die fundamentale Einstellung im Mittelpunkt steht, und nicht die Ergebnisse. Super!
