In the August issue of SUCCESS, Simon Sinek discusses how effective leaders and organizations have one thing in common: purpose.
The author and speaker says leaders need to have more empathy and ask what they can do to help.
DALLAS, July 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Thought leader, author and speaker Simon Sinek was shocked when his online video about millennials went viral. He initially thought to himself, This is crazy, and then he thought to himself, This makes sense. In the wildly popular video, Sinek summarizes one of the biggest problems in our workforce today—the incongruity of younger generations—but also proposes solutions to the problem. One of the biggest solutions he advocates is better communication across the board: People need to put away their cell phones and have real, live conversations with each other.
Before his viral video, Sinek was known as a renowned speaker who helped organizations and leaders create a workplace culture that was full of empathy, good communication and happy employees. The 43-year-old is one of the most sought-after leadership consultants in the country, the author of three best-selling books (with a fourth on the way) and the force behind the third most popular TED Talk of all time. He has spent most of his career trying to figure out why people do what they do, why they trust who they trust and why they buy what they buy.
For him, it all boils down to purpose. His goal is to encourage people in society to organize themselves around people who share their values. His ideal world is one in which "the vast majority of people wake up every single morning inspired to go to work, feel safe when they're there, and return home fulfilled at the end of the day."
"There are things that happen in the formative years of our lives that affect the way we view the world."
