Simon Sinek: If You Don't Understand People, You Don't Understand Business

[@MrCooper83]

I read his books (Start With Why, and Leaders Eat Last) and I watched many of his speech. He changed my life. This is a great person and I think many people would agree if I say that WE need more people like Simon!

[@TeriConrad]

*Values. Generosity. Humanity.* SO appreciate Simon Sinek's message "100% of customers are people. 100% of clients are people. 100% of employees are people. Make it about THEM. Not about you. If you don't understand PEOPLE you don't understand BUSINESS." ~SO MANY great quotes within this presentation! WELL WORTH the watch!

Most of this was not new information for me, I am 66 years old and have lived long enough to see all these scenarios play out. However your presentation put it all together in a way that I comprehend it for the first time. I am retired from Oil business and it was frowned upon to go to someone's office to talk about idea. ..... "Put it in a email" .... even worse was the suggestion we CC our Boss. Good news is; I recently started my own business and I am so excited to be the kind of leader that loves and brings out the best in every associate. Thank You; Old Dog Learns a New Trick and Wears a Red Hat! May God Bless You!

[@catstickler]

THIS is why I focus so much on leadership culture in my business! It's powerful to help people commit to their convictions and operate with their values in mind. But I do have to say one thing: Homeless people are very likely to share their limited resources with other homeless people because homeless people need each other to survive the streets. (Spoken as someone who was homeless/lived in my car and who formed these strong connections with other homeless people as we shared our food and other survival resources.)

[@sathsah1593]

♥ i hear and feel you, glad you overcame

[@anoopgopalakrishnan7823]

One thing that helps me create trust is something I learned from an amazing ted video. With the same principle of common ground, I learned to see people and see for their experiences. And the emotion they felt when they were experiencing them. Their pain of abandonment, anger, frustration, complaint, joy, peace, euphoria, love, confusion etc etc. I also tap into their motivation behind what they do. Their need to be peace with themselves, their need to feel important, their need to express their originality and be loved for that. Their need to have someone their for them etch etc. And these are things I know in my own life. And I just listen to others and tap into that part of their story which I can already relate to. And boom! We are close! This way of perceiving life and relating with others have given me a passage into any human beings heart. And thus I am no longer alone in this world.

[@Comliance]

Aristotle told us: "We are what we do daily. So excellence isn't founded on only one excellent single action, it is a habit!" If you believe in excellence surround yourself with excellent people. People who really share your belief in excellence. And you will reach your goals ;-)

[@hanslee7037]

Agreed 😊

[@AlanmanAaron]

Be careful quoting Aristotle, almost everything he thought was wrong

[@Comliance]

Because Sokrates knows that he knows nothing ;-) And you Sir? Do you really got omnipotent to judge wisdom that way? ;-)

[@AlanmanAaron]

Comliance we were talking about Aristotle... not Socrates

[@Comliance]

Okay.... If we talk about Aristotle we don't talk about one person, we talk about Philosophy. What is Philosophy? Philosophy is the endless search of man for truth and meaning. The search for wisdom in the end. Your words to me Sir sound more than a trial to overtake power over my thoughts. You talk to me more like a teacher or school principal than someone who will discuss with me on same level. It seems that you Sir will try to rule me who is right and who is wrong. That is the way how "authorities" talk to the "stupid". They are right and all the others are wrong! But what is truly right and what is truly wrong? What is really false and what is really true? If someone, like you Sir, comes to the opinion that Aristotle and all other great philosophers were totally wrong, it is a matter of fact for itself. I have to respect and accept it. His or hers opinion has a genesis created by own thinking based on a very special mix of his mindset. Founded on individual knowledge and life time experience. Our so called Individuality. So I have to respect your opinion. If I agree or disagree to your opinion or opposite is the result of an initialed process of understanding on both sides. Every woman and every man has a very special individual mindset. And I will tell you something: Everyone is right in sight of his or hers very own experiences and knowledge. His or hers truth or better reality. Finally we are not comparable were are individual. And we all have strengths and weaknesses. What for someone is a strength could be a weakness for someone else and the opposite. And to be successful and happy in life we are well consulted to surround us with people who are more clever to compensate our weaknesses than to struggle all the time with each other who has the same strengths to find/fight out who is the best. So I am tired to talk about final truth or final wisdom with someone. It is an endless game I don't want to play with anyone anymore. I respect your opinion. It is your very own way of thinking or sight onto the world. No-one has the right to judge that wrong. So I don't want to judge that in any way. Because your mind is not mine and mine isn't yours. But I will give you a last recommendation. Perhaps a different way to think to you Sir: Would you be able to change my mind over Aristotle or anyone else on the world without empathy and/or confidence? Is it really unnecessary to build a climate of respect and/or much better sympathy first? To increase the chance to get full attention of your guests to your speech and thoughts that way? I wish you Sir a very nice day and furthermore a happy life

He is so calm and easy to listen and follow. Not many speakers/leaders have this special skill. Most speakers I've heard talk too fast, or can't connect with. I noticed bc most of these speakers make it about them, and Simon makes it about us.

As always, Simon is one of my favorite speakers. I enjoy people who make me stop and consider my own reason 'why'.

[@Mentorch]

This is such an awesome discussion. I love Simon Sinek, he explains concepts that could be considered complex and makes them understandable and not just that, you can relate you what he is saying. You find yourself nodding your head in agreement. You say " yeah I have thought that way before." You find yourself trusting him. He's a great speaker and I will be following him for a long time to come. Anyone from Virginia around? How about Maryland?

1. Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you. Pray for them that spitefully use you and persecute you. 2. Love you neighbor as yourself. 3. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. 4. Give and it shall be given unto you, good measure, press down and shaken together and running over shall men give unto your bosom. For with the same measure that you met with all it shall be measured to you again.

[@VanessaKlinger]

+Pamela Johnson Its really hard to love your enemies at least from my perspective. What I've learned what works for me is SEE my enemies from God perspective.. Through his eyes.. This vantage point activates the God love within that's need to love them thereby expressing unconditional acts of love..remember you reap what you so so if you're sowing ego driven acts you will reap ego driven acts from other. Which is so important to make sure you're operating from a place of LOVE.. Thanks for reading..#staynlove

[@PamelaGJ]

For me EGO is when we "Edge God Out" I do understand where you are coming from in seeing things through the eyes of God. Some times even that is hard in hard situations because of our SELF! EGO! I slip into SELF and then afterwords say "Damn this flesh" That knee jerk reaction jumps out before I can catch it. Then there is a lot of repenting and folllowing the ways restoration. But praise be to God He can redeem the times.

[@VanessaKlinger]

I agree! The key is to observe when we err and be grateful that we actually were present enough to see where we've missed it.. That's such a wonderful place to because it says to me that GOD loves us so much to continually teach us as we evolve.

[@PamelaGJ]

Sanctification :) What a wonderful gift!!!

[@catiegalen8931]

+Pamela Johnson Well-Said. No better source than the Bible for Wisdom. I wish Simon would acknowledge that GOD gives him a feeling of goodness to be generous, rather than refer to Mother Nature. God! Praise be to God1 Give credit where credit belongs, Simon! Don't be afraid to call Him what He is. As we continue to edge Him out of every conversation as if saying "God" were worse than a swear, we exclude Him from our lives.

[@JosephGeraghty]

Two ideas really resonated with me. 1. He is absolutely correct about wanting to create a fake image so people will like us. I do believe when you find your true limitless Self, people will unquestionably be attracted to you. 2. It is also 100% true you will get a more satisfying life in service to others.

I knew the feeling of helping others while crab fishing. I was young in the berring sea. During a storm we were called to rescue a larger king crab boat, at one day away at sea called the Skip Blander. She and crew were dead in the water. Each swell was 30 plus feet high. After finally getting a line over to the tail end and someone crab our longest throw. I atacked a 2 in Samson line to our stern and we towed the crew in large seas back safely to Acutan Ak. Non of requested or got paid , but we all felt great for help people we never knew or ever meet. Thanks for the opportunity to say this from back in the happening of 1980.

[@Seungjos]

Wonderful speech, personally I try to be as nice as I can to people, even if they aren't nice to me. And yes, that is kind of a dangerous thing to do, but I do it anyway. Just to feel that I am a good enough person. It is my choice to be good to others. People often ask me, why are you so nice, why are you doing this for me? And if it's a person I feel comfortable with or whom I just like, I tell them that I just feel like doing it. I feel like making their day. It's true, that when you give that homeless person money, you get a great feeling of accomplishment and pride inside yourself. Being generous even when you don't have that much to give is the most wonderful thing. People might even help you more. My point is, there's not point in being a greedy person. I once was that, I never wanted to give anyone anything, because it was mine. But I found the joy in giving people something of me. It makes me happy to see them happy. Have a great day!
