Күн бұрын

It's unbelievably hard to keep a Just Cause in mind as the guiding principle especially if you have to make decisions that hurt in the short term.
It's hard to lead with an infinite mindset and it takes courage.
This is the fifth of The 5 Practices outlined in THE INFINITE GAME.
+ + +
Simon is an unshakable optimist who believes in a bright future and our ability to build it together.

Simon is the author of multiple best-selling books including Start With Why, Leaders Eat Last, Together is Better, and Find Your Why. His new book, The Infinite Game, will be released in 2019.

Loved the Titanic reference, fits squarely in how we have 'compliance' teams trying to drive delivery.

I wish more people realized that the threats of termination (fire the bottom 10%), while they offer a quick boost for a day or a week, will never be as powerful as long term inspiration. It's so hard to teach that, but the organizations that get it, REALLY make a powerful difference!

Right about everything except his understanding of Milton Friedman. Friedman's position on maximizing shareholder value is much more nuanced. One could argue that by not providing enough lifeboats, the company risked a tremendous amount of shareholder value by not protecting the lives of passengers and placed the company's reputation at tremendous risk. Friedman routinely clarified his belief on maximizing shareholder value by arguing against the money executives spend on charities instead of reinvesting those funds in the company to increase profits, increasing employee wages to reward performance or paying dividends to shareholders to reward them for putting their own money at risk to help the company. Sinek seems to have misunderstood Friedman because Sinek is claiming Friedman championed the legal cutting of corners. Friedman applauded Volvo when they created seatbelts and gave away patents to competing carmakers at no cost. Friedman saw this added cost as an expense that would pay for itself by improving Volvo's image and increasing the life expectancy of potential customers. Friedman was against the use of company funds for things that don't reward the people associated with the company. Let them give to charity themselves.

The way you describe the treatment of their employees is exactly how this company behaves. And just as Simon explains, they go through employees like changing ones clothes everyday! The employees are always on the defense....I can go on and on, but won’t and will share this with our new HR manager!

Yes, fantastic message! Such a pity organizations work in that mindset. The Titanic story, though, is not accurate: there were supposed to be 48 lifeboats on board, they had only 20. And most of them were populated with less passengers than should have been. Titanic sailed with 2,274 people on board. There were 705 survivors. That's a bit less than a third.
