[@MaryettaRusso-ri9fj]

I am a leader to be like someone else I don't wish to be. EVERYONE brings things to the table THAT CAN WORK

[@MaryettaRusso-ri9fj]

Why do you ask me if you didn't see it already everyone makes mistakes doesn't mean you can't be a leader it is a growing process. If they give up is a different thing

[@MaryettaRusso-ri9fj]

Not listen to some ideas from them when they are on the floor and they have the contact with customers more then CEO of a company it is worth a try we should take and listen and put down pride not ever thing but it is worth a try

[@MaryettaRusso-ri9fj]

Have a great thank you for Q........

[@kirorupa]

Simon is one of the best speakers...

[@waynesanders1406]

I EAS'ed from the Marines 8 years in at the height of my middle management career as a Sergeant. I remember many times having fond memories of the days when I had so much less responsibility years before, and I also thought about how much easier Staff Sergeant and higher had it easier because at that rank and higher you leave the platoon management (like up in the business every minute of the day management) and only need to pop in once in a while to check on things. I was due for promotion but I denied myself that before I had made this realization deciding I had had enough of the upper ranks and didn't want to see myself become one of them.

Same to you Abdul. Do check this other video compilation of Simon's work as there are some great tips there as well kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJbGoaCcd7qfgMk

[@petersgarage6125]

You cannot lead through negativity. This may appear to be valid in the short term but other issues will occur and productivity will drop. People want to feel valued and part of what's going on in their workplace. Leading through fear may appear to be effective to the the instigator but in the long term people will only work to the bare minimum and not be invested in the workplace.

[@NaphtaliHoff]

Leading through negativity will bring anything but harm to the team.

[@BobbyVans-hf8mq]

This is true negatively isn’t good for anyone. It don’t even make me feel better when I utilize negativity it’s a useless emotion

[@janelleedwards5886]

So glad I stumbled upon Simon a few days ago!

Absolutely correct about middle management. It’s so true and sad.

Thanks for the comment. Simon is great but anyone can display the leadership qualities he talks about. So listen and copy, and translate to your own world to make yourself a better leader! Lots more leadership content on my channel! Regards, Paul @ Productivity ACE

[@natashaparry4468]

SIMON IS A GENIUS!

[@ProductivityACE]

He is for sure - but a lot of the advice is also basic human connection. It's a shame that it even needs to be said, but at least there are more empathetic leaders out there these days. Have a look at my channel for more advice on leadership and productivity.

[@jawharmlikaxxx]

SIMON IS SIMPLY A GENIUS 🎯

[@alliemw]

Mentors make the difference, from that they create more mentors.

[@Wong-Jack-Man]

Agree, middle management is like when you get “promoted” as a team lead.

[@ProductivityACE]

yeah for sure

[@heyitsbroski]

I used to be that. It felt useless. Now, I'm a supervisor. Much better.

Leadership training is essential.

[@ProductivityACE]

Agreed. And it so often doesn’t happen, leaving new managers to work it all out for themselves. That’s part of my motivation with this channel. To help those new managers get started.

[@omaryounis9113]

yeah the best ever in success motivation speech are two : the first one is tony robbins and the second is Simon Sinek , those are optimist , positive energy , entrepreneur , a big strategy with planning as well as big vision and more targets ... i will be like of them ... i know everything about tony robbins and simon Sinek ... from the brave iraq 🇮🇶 today i am so proud to my country the brave iraq 🇮🇶 my country the brave iraq have more scientists 🇮🇶 🇮🇶 🇮🇶 🇮🇶

When you are at junior level you are responsible only for your jobs.But when you are in middle managment it is the hardest things.

[@ProductivityACE]

Glad you enjoyed it.

You r a skilled

[@dpor7683]

There is also the issue of the vacuum at the top = we've all worked with leaders who were unqualified for their roles and had simply moved through the company getting promoted but never quite achieved the skills of leadership. It drives out the qualified and talented middle management layer. In my experience its the top leadership failing has made most of my colleagues leave their otherwise great jobs!

Nice! Very interesting message of leadership.

[@EVOLVEBRAIN]

@@ProductivityACE thank you so much

[@AbhisekKishor]

I think the answer is simpler: we aren't productive and waste time because we don't have a good "connection" with our goals. We just do many things without REALLY thinking about them. WHAT WE NEED is to spend some time with ourselves everyday planning the next day. Best way is to have a walk ALONE thinking about things to do tomorrow. Visualize.. not write and make notes, etc. Just a broad visualisation of who you are and what you'll do tomorrow. Make that connection. Countless of my students have found this working better than different MODELS and STEPS and other complicated ways.. JUST have a walk and visualise. You'll also move a bit that will release the right hormones for you to have a positive connection with the next day's purpose!! Best of luck guys!!

[@sorencyrano1413]

The sad thing is that my company with c. 120 employees (half of them highly educated) gets on average 1 hour per year (!) for retraining, courses etc. And they want to cut it further. And I have two certifications I have to maintain as a bare minimum.

[@user-sh2gp5hz2g]

This is 1000000% true. I asked HR what resources should I tap into as a first time manager to help become a best manager possible. They said it was a great question and they would get back to me. I didn't hear back. Luckily I tapped into my MBA experience and contacts to get their tips.

[@heejinhan4415]

There’s also the fact that senior leadership will say one thing and expect something different tactically.

[@WalkToPoland]

Thats because they don't know any better either, because if they did then the opportunity/risk would be sufficiently evaluated to be considered an option. Its the willingness to see things through that counts even if done hypothetically, and it trumps over any applicable forms or methods of disregard.

[@ProductivityACE]

Sometimes, yes

Thanks for the comment.

[@robertdickson2083]

People don't want to be managed, they want to be lead. Who ever heard of a world manager - world leader yes. church leader, scout leader, municipal leader. They lead they don't manage. If you want to manage somebody - manage yourself. When you learn to do that well, you will be ready to stop managing and start leading. Leaders lead with aim and purpose - others follow through self interest. The carrot always wins over the stick - ask your horse. Get it thirsty and it will even find it's own water - your horse will agree with that too. When goals are valuable and there is learning and growth - -everyone cooperates aspiring to manage themselves. So the leader can go on leading. Written under the heading HORSE SENSE by myself Bob Dickson in a career management and personal leadership business for several years.

The problem is that workplaces are so stubborn to do it their way. They always promote the candidate who will uphold the status quo rather than the more threatening candidate to their system who will make the workplace better than it has ever been.

Middle Management is the hardest because they have to switch between the roles of "follower" and "leader" all day long.

[@ProductivityACE]

True. But they also have a great perspective to learn from, and influence both sides of their operation. So it's a powerful position, but yes one of the most challenging. Thanks for the comment. Lots more leadership videos on my channel - do take a look.

[@livefreewithjd]

@@ProductivityACE I agree with you! Great video thank you! I’ll check out some more of your videos. Leadership videos are very helpful especially to entrepreneurs like most of us.

[@AmreshTripathi]

In my previous where 3 managers left one by one due to pressure. So I managed the team, and my boss brought in a guy from outside who was a puppet. He would not ever side with team and make us over work after our office hours endlessly. He was a pure "manager" he simply managed and never lead

[@feasterfamine836]

“If you’re really good at it, you eventually get promoted”. I have always had trouble with this particular myth that Simon propagates. I have worked in the tech industry for 30 years at 7 companies in health care, banking, legal administration, and real estate, and all of them only hire managers from outside the org. I have heard of companies that will promote business analysts and developers to management roles, but very few companies have the discipline and leadership to actually groom and promote these roles from within.

[@ProductivityACE]

I'd have to agree with that, at least in part. For sure it seems like in big corporates that someone's ability doesn't play that much of a factor in whether they get promoted or not. Or at least not as much of a factor as it should...

[@HikingLeadership]

Hello there! I just came across your fantastic video on, and it got me thinking about how, much like hiking, the journey of leadership and personal development is a challenging but incredibly rewarding path. 🌄 That's why I created 'Hiking Leadership,' my KZbin channel. It's all about embracing the similarities between hiking and personal growth. Just as every step taken on a trail brings us closer to the summit, every lesson learned in leadership and development gets us closer to our goals. If you're passionate about self-improvement and love the metaphor of hiking, 'Hiking Leadership' is the place for you. Let's embark on this transformative journey together! 🔥 Feel free to drop by and join the conversation. I'm always excited to connect with fellow travelers on this long and fulfilling expedition. Thanks for your inspiring content, and I look forward to having you as a part of the 'Hiking Leadership' community!"

Appreciate this is a standard copy and paste comment but good luck with your channel anyway. Hope it goes well.

​@@ProductivityACE yea sorry for the copy and paste, I'm just really trying to grow and raise awareness of my channel so I'm trying to interact as much as possible with channels who are leadership and development focused. I really like your channel and content, I'm really passionate about learning to be a better leader as I feel it's a duty of care as a leader to keep on developing oneself. If you like I can remove the comment if you don't want it there.

what is your just cause? and what are you willing to do to devote to that cause?/ how much are you willing to devote to that cause? this makes you a leader.

Started by saying awkwardness is not a sign of introversion. Then says Richard Branson is an introvert, he's incredible awkward. Oops. :)

[@Educationmustnow]

Junior level people always do that they lead themselves, lead their project, lead their Budget, lead their family, unless he/she leads their duties and takes responsibilities, they can't be successful. If you say that leading people is the leadership, Probably That's wrong with many successful leaders and with many company's structure.

[@bhalchandraramkrishna1255]

Maybe this is in a different presentation, but just a little bit of history for Mr Sinek. He's slightly off when he said that handwashing came in because of Dr Holmes. The reality is that a medical professional called Ignaz Semmelweizz came up with the idea that doctors needed to wash hands after post-mortems, and before they conducted deliveries. It was called puerperal sepsis. He was hounded out for that reason, till he died in a mental asylum. It took 300 years for that concept to even come to it's right. As an Indian, I'll just state the right way to do caesarian deliveries, was stated and written by Sushruta, an ayurvedic physician, from times three centuries BCE. The western world took over 100 years from the 19th century, to get it right. 😄
