4 months ago, I got promoted to a leadership position. I have always been able to learn quickly, adapt to and thrive in a new role in the past. However, after taking on the leadership role, weirdly I feel less engaged and less accomplished, but haven’t been able to figure out the cause. Your sharing is truly thought-provoking and helps me to see clearly what has been going on and what I need to do next. Active listening, giving & receiving feedback, empathy, having effective confrontation and difficult conversations, all these “human” skills were not taught and I was not prepared to lead. Introducing and embracing the infinite mindset is going to be life changing. “Just Cause” itself inspires me to reflect and redefine what type of a leader that I aspire to grow into and how to live my life more meaningfully. Appreciate you a ton Simon!

Great!

[@stevensantiago5733]

The Host seems like a finite minded leader. Thank you Simon for revealing the infinite mind set

[@ntobekogxamza5893]

The host seems so scared of new kid on the block called Makosi based in USA, and they're better be. Its organization that grows too fast like Google having nightmares over Chat GPT

[@georgebastenie4134]

Dear Simon, I consider myself to be a realist. But part of me is also quite idealistic. Your vision on leadership and trust is so inspiring to me. I'm even considering going back to college to get a degree in antropology. I'm 47, Thanks from George in Belgium

[@eagle71]

I think the host has a finite mindset and also the ego close his mind, thanks Simon for your inspiration and the Infinite mindset, greetings from Guatemala

[@goabamonngakgotla1947]

I'm a 13 yr old from botswana in Africa I really don't know why I love listening to him

[@johnmbevo7490]

13???? By the time u 20 youll be wayyyy ahead in ur mindset

[@samozoani]

Wow 13? In 3 short years you'd be wayyyyyy ahead of most adults and Corporate leaders

[@CalinFilip]

Simple. All phylosophy should be simple.TY Simon

[@Edts8507]

I got into your work, Simon, quite accidentally I would say, but I am so inspired by it that I watched almost all the talks and videos around Start With Why, Leaders Eat Last, Together Is Better, and now The Infinite Game. As an introvert young millenial with existential problems, going through your work helps have a better understanding of our society and the role I want to have in this. I am currently reading the books and I am crushing it. Thank You So Much Simon !!!

[@Tchakoumi]

Sinek, so full of wisdom. Changed about things in my business plan and pitch deck already

[@AkeSatia1]

Many gems here!! Most noteworthy: You have a distinct sense of humor but you don't sense it... Makes it very amusing! Strictly speaking for me ;) Thank you for sharing this!

[@karenhabacon]

Very inspiring! Simon Sinek is a game changer! ❤❤❤

[@luguti]

Thank you very much Simon !! Thank you for making us realize what are we capable of !!

[@DesireeHoorzuk]

Brilliance- inspired ❤

[@nerd26373]

We find this inspiring to watch. Keep up the good work as always.

[@Jonathan-ze6oo]

Great discussion! You are so chill Simon and very inspiring! Thanks a lot, cheers from France.

[@nadettemills6879]

I wish my immediate supervisor could understand your leadership concepts.I wish the whole world could understand your leadership concepts. Could we just build a little more compassion into this life? Still over here struggling with my "why" after watching your Ted talk for the first time in 2015. I suspect that I have some business to get in order, in my head, before I can figure out why I do what I do. Hell, I'm not even sure what I do yet 🤣🤣🤣

[@MrEyegee]

Simon is amazing ❤

[@PuzzleShiftCreate3]

You speak this so clearly and consistently, it's amazing that the typical corporate culture is still so toxic. Here's to the infinite mindset!

[@krubenmoodley5124]

True

[@dafingaz]

Incredible!

[@harmonylifewithjess1593]

To be shared over and over again

[@eslachance]

It amazes me that after a full hour of listening to this video, I have absolutely no idea what PWC does, and now I actually have to google it. And I bet I'll have to dig through a layer of marketing crap to actually figure it out.

At 46:00 he asks Simon to talk about goal setting, he gets his response. The audience his employees, react and applaud because they may have brought those very concerns up. The host immediately reminds everyone, we are not changing the forecast. It may be a joke, but the very thing he needs to do, he stays away from.

[@chrisguevara]

This dude is like a comedian. That story about Noah, is in many videos. It's delivered in a consistent way. I'm sure he practices his"routine" often. It seems so natural.

[@kartikchaturvedi7868]

Superrrb Awesome Fantastic video

[@omaryounis9113]

the best two ever in success motivation speech are : 1 tony robbins , 2 simon Sinek , from the brave iraq 🇮🇶

[@lulwabinshuker4579]

I think that independency of an organization is what helps in playing in an infinite game.

[@SiKu72]

people that care about their colleagues and that want to see a passionate leader/partner do not work for PWC. Cmon guys, everybody knows what the big four stands for. Its definitely not modern leadership. But its good youre trying to reinvent yourself! Thumbs up

[@opaca512]

Link to book, and PWC live not allowing download of the book?

[@maxlee3]

A year later how much of what Simon shared was taken in and implemented within PwC?

[@AnaGarcia-xd4pg]

Go and have lunch with your team, that is one of the best ways to get people in a team closed. And please don’t choose a fancy restaurant and if it’s possible and you are no more than 40 or so, choose just one long table. Share dishes. The “coffee time” after lunch is the most valuable time so don’t cut it short. That is the old way to get people closed or at least that people in a team get to know each other. The talk was quite interesting, but I got the same vibe I’m getting lately: no one knows the way to go right now. Governments don’t know, Central Banks don’t know, Corporations don’t know, Consultants don’t know… all of them just trying different approachs. They are all waiting for someone to have a better idea. We’ll see what happens. And meanwhile us employees (specially between 40 and 50 years old) are in the worst situation than ever before because companies are right now trying to decide where to go and trying not to go under this economic situation we are in.

[@SophiaAphrodite]

There is a department in our company that is just treated poorly. I was in it for 4 years and saw it degrade. I left and it keeps getting worse. Everyone is stressed and I once said it is not the workers fault if your department sucks. It is the managements fault and was almost written up for it. Was why I left even though I was in line for management. There are 3 people that would be above me and I knew my manager was unable to enact change. He left and so did his replacement. It would be one thing if I could go and enact change. But if the people above you will not what can you do?

[@kellycraytor]

Hi the links to buy the books don't work 404 error. Much love!

[@kellycraytor]

Find your why and Together is Better is what works, they other 3 links not working. thanks a bunch xxx

[@kareymayers4882]

Thank you for teaching a great life is being present .

[@SimonSinek]

Thank you for the feedback! The links have been fixed. -Team Simon

[@americanpatriot2368]

@@SimonSinek Hi Simon. I just got done reading your book, "Start with Why," and it made me think of all the pains the Disney Company is going through. Wouldn't you say franchises like Fox Studios (Predator, Aliens), ESPN and Hulu are manifestations of the company abandoning its why ("The Child In All of Us")? Now the company is talking about incorporating sports betting. That doesn't seem it would be compatible with the company's brand.

[@redsub93]

the host has some of the driest humor i have ever seen in a host lol ! great talk

Simon, if you can ride a motorcycle and you want a day off ..

[@Akhi-lo2bb]

Host need to work on his infinite mindset …

[@HectorPunisher]

Who let this host lead this? 😕

[@G09534]

you can see unfortunately that this guy is totally in denial phase to everything that Simon is saying... too bad for the employees

[@kir250305]

I disagree. He was actually very honest and self aware with the humour about the situation that he will need to re-think the plans they did make before speach of Simon.

[@annaeverette8960]

Maybe it was like a demonstration

[@desireedelunae]

😂😂😂. It’s not wrong, it’s just not useful 😂😂😂😂

[@callaslan168]

I couldn't enjoy the video, every few minutes iam distracted with ads ,so annoying 🙄

[@davidnelson7719]

Stop watching on your phone.

[@pietropasotti4418]

Can't watch this video. That dude keeps stopping Simon with stupid jokes.

[@leehalfonso3129]

Who is this egomaniac hosting the show? It is clear that his mind is locked and wont accept anyrhing that Simon says.
