Leadership Has Nothing to Do With Rank | Simon Sinek

Leaders are the ones willing to take care of the people around them. They can exist in any level or department of an organization. We call someone “leader” because they took the risk to express uncertainty, ask for help, or head towards danger before anyone else.
+ + +
Simon is an unshakable optimist. He believes in a bright future and our ability to build it together.
Described as “a visionary thinker with a rare intellect,” Simon has devoted his professional life to help advance a vision of the world that does not yet exist; a world in which the vast majority of people wake up every single morning inspired, feel safe wherever they are and end the day fulfilled by the work that they do.
Simon is the author of multiple best selling books including Start With Why, Leaders Eat Last, Together is Better, and The Infinite Game.

Leadership is RELATIONSHIPS over RANKS. ❤️❤️❤️

[@heathergrahame9647]

It's not easy to have empathy for bosses who have a big ego and feel threatened by others who have better leadership skills. Thanks for the encouragement, Simon.

[@dimunnpabebet7040]

That's exactly with me and my "boss" who lost all my trust and respect.

[@TeliahSwint]

I couldn’t have said it better myself! NO ONE talks about the RISK of leadership Simon! This is Awesome! As a Marine myself you’re preaching!!!

[@thatisjustwhatisaid]

After so many lessons I have learned from you you still somehow manage to give even more insights. Thank you for doing what you do Simon!

Boss ☺you leder you very smart thank you 😍😄😄

[@dangwartney1]

Simon and Jocko talking about leadership would be very something I'd pay for .

[@blackdogcoaching4436]

Great videos always. 15 years in the military and sadly, this is the last place we see this kind of leadership. You should be a general 😂

[@gittinvested2711]

Thank you for articulating what true leadership is. Bosses, take care of your people, and they will take care of you. I hope this message continues to spread.

[@anikkatesch8271]

I plan to watch this every morning before starting my work day. I ran across this when I needed it and it speaks to my heart (and head). I am a leader even without the rank. Thank you Simon for this important reminder.

[@MeeCee5204]

This is exactly the message I needed to hear today. Although I love my job, I had decided that I will retire by next July. The stress and anxiety is not worth it. I am a naturally well structured person, I'm fairly organized and I actually enjoy routine work, but my leadership is very scattered, erratic, unpredictable and constantly changing the procedures. Needless to say, it's driving me bonkers! Although I've been on my job for 22 years, I never feel like I know what I'm doing. This is the first time in my life that I actually hate my job.

Sound like you work for the post office

[@Cacofonixravi]

Work is the expression of human life, one can never be happy even if have enough money to take care for rest of your life. Don't quit the place you have arrived, which you have been working right from kindergarten till date just for one person for a short time. You own that place fight to stay and rule. Read a book called Moral mazes by Robert Jackall, will help you to understand the reality of corporate company working. You are enjoying your work means you are skilled. Work on your mind and body. Join a gym and work out, eat healthy,rest and hydrate well. Then work on your mind. Stay, fight and win. Best wishes

Every one of us takes care of the others. That’s when we are strongest. And we do it cuz the others would do the same. Embed that into your daily routines and you will be golden. Bravo Simon 👍✌️

[@OvercomeEverythingJosh]

🙌🏻 exactly. I have taken a lot from your ideology of “why” and many other books you wrote. You, John Maxwell and Zig Zigglar have been my “mentors” for years. I remember I desired a mentor so bad, but never knew anyone that was like I wanted to be. I forget exactly where (Rock Thomas maybe?) say you can choose your mentors by seeking them out online, participate in their programs, buy their books etc. It changed everything for me. Here I was waiting for a mentor to find me when they were in front of me the whole time. Thank you for everything and I can not wait to launch my book and program soon. I deeply appreciate the values you have taught me. 🙌🏻🙏🏻♥️

Leadership is something..where you should know how to lead n where others should be allowed to lead.Leadership is about creating atmosphere where people will take charge of themselve along with team.Leadership is not taking risk,it is actually avoiding risk by taking decisive steps..thanks grt ideas...hope it reaches to each one of us

[@Bensinkvitto]

It's easy to take things for granted and forgetting to pause and communicate, involving, and reaching out to everyone . I'll try to revisit this video clip once in a while and reflect on all the advices. It's a great "reminder" video to utilize in my own role as leader. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!

You are right. But one question will come from this situation. What is the difference between leader person and successful person

[@soniahachemi4025]

@@muhriddinsharobiddinov7815 Excellent reflection!! I think that a successful person doesn't need to be a leader BUT the concept of a Leader includes necessary success 🌺 IMAO A Leader has to be a succeful person ( human being), The One who "eats last", who masters values like "empathy & kindness", who involves on a field of "Let's help each other".. The One who has "A Vision" for the company.. 🌺 I love Sir Sinek when he says his beliefs.. These one give me faith that some people share with something in this life !!!!

"It goes up and down"

[@keomarahmat]

Does being a leader will pay off (financially)? I mean that being a boss but not a leader is not good. but it pays well.

[@mariahconklin4150]

When I see my manager I ask her how she’s doing. I saw her just the other day and asked if she needed me to get her trash. It’s as simple as that just be kind. I really want to be a leader and have already had a manager tell me that I can go through the classes to be one. I’ve thought about it but my job now is very stressful. I’m very lucky to have co workers in my life who have led me in the right way.

[@MrDaveyboysmitt]

Right but the flip side is since people in this generation is always questioning rank and thinking they are equal to someone with higher authority you produce the worst bosses or people of authority because they will be dictated by people getting thier way

[@msbae]

My entire Army career summed up in less than 5 minutes... :/

[@pk062]

What to do when: 1. Your team already has a leader (with official authority) 2. You are not given any official leadership responsibilities 3. So you create your own opportunities by identifying gaps in the system and solving them (but that would come under individual contributor role, not team lead). You help your team with any queries, you don’t shy away from seeking help, etc. etc. 4. Yet, you get reviewed as “technically perfect, but not a leadership material” How do you assume leadership without having that formal authority, like of a pseudo lead or an acting lead in a corporate culture, where there are seniors within the team who too are seeking a promotion to lead?

[@ryanweaver202]

I don't know if you will see this or not... and I am not going to disclose where I work. However, I will say that I am in an extremely fast paced retail environment. One of the shift managers recently undertook a journey a few months ago. He was my favorite shift manager. He was always available. He was there to check on people and make sure they were doing alright. He did a good job at running the shift. He always took command of a vital position at the store whatever position it might have been. He made sure people had what they needed. If a certain area or post at the store was drowning, he would jump in. I always felt at ease with him being the night shift manager. He had my back. He had the crew's back. Also, if someone did something wrong to and/or around a customer, he would ask what they did and why. He was fair. However, after a few new people came in that were hired above him, and they had been there a few months, he was told he is "not a leader" and "not a manager." He was demoted. A couple of people were given some "leadership" positions after him, and they were inherently negative or would lose their cool any time the store got really busy or something small happened. Sometimes, they would literally throw a tantrum in front of everyone or physically let their aggression out on something. Those people have since quit working at the store, and the other guy I liked as the shift manager still works there as a facilities manager with extremely reduced hours. You see? They said he wasn't a leader because he didn't have an edge toward people all of the time and didn't have a mentality of bossing people around all of the time. Ever since he was demoted, speed of service has gone way down, customer satisfaction has gone way down, there is complete chaos at night usually, and there is much less morale... A lot of the people I really liked have quit recently too. I guess that just goes to show...

[@RaZeyLWindBladE]

Then have the courage to stand up to the people putting him down and have his back when he needs it. He took care of you all, take care of his need now. He is demoted? Like what Simon says, leadership is not a rank. Tell him he is still a leader among those who see him as such. Bring his morale up. Stand together.

[@ryanweaver202]

RaZeyLWindBladE ??? You don’t know the situation. You also completey missed the point of my comment.

[@RaZeyLWindBladE]

@@ryanweaver202 I'm just saying it based on what you have just wrote. Don't know what the point is really, to me it sounded like the guy you liked as the shift manager weren't having it good. So just like Simon said, leadership isn't a rank. If people don't see it that way, so be it. It starts with us yes?
