Introduction
Today, on the "People Skills" newsletter, we're bringing you another set of videos from one of the most charismatic leadership gurus of our times, Simon Sinek.
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 morning inspired, feel safe wherever they are, and end the day fulfilled by the work that they do.
It's what we, at MTL also believe and why we do the work we do.
This selection includes "Love Your Job", "Leadership is Like Parenting", and "The Truth of the Great Resignation".
So, stop what you are doing, sit down, and let Simon Sinek mesmerise you for the next half hour...
01. Start With Why
This is an example of Simon Sinek's "Why not What" model from FightMediocrity's Malkhaz Geldiashvili.
02. People Don't Buy What You Do, They Buy Why You Do It
A summary of the key ideas of Simon Sinek's wonderfully simple, and simply wonderful book, "Start with Why."
03. I Realised It Was All Fake
This is what Infinite-Minded Players understand. You don't have to be the cheapest if you've got a great relationship.
04. The Origin of the WHY
I share the story of the WHY with you as we are all on this journey together — to help build a world where the vast majority of people wake up inspired, feel safe at work, and return home at the end of the day feeling fulfilled.
05. Leadership Is Like Parenting
The first criterion for being a leader is you have to want to be one. Being a leader is like being a parent - anyone CAN be one but that doesn't mean everyone WANTS to be or SHOULD be.
06. Existential Flex - Making Profound Strategic Shifts
An Existential Flex is a profound strategic shift in order to advance your cause.
07. The Great Resignation - It's a Big Wake-Up Call
The people at the bottom are the ones who get us to the top. Treat them with respect.
08. I'd Rather Have NO Job Than This Job!
The Great Resignation is actually a great correction. People have much more influence, and thanks to COVID, can say "I don't want to be treated this way, and I'd rather have no job than this job."
09. Analysing Simon Sinek's Keynote Conference Speech
Alex Lyon analyses Simon Sinek's speech at Microsoft on "How can leaders learn empathy".
10. How to Hire Smarter
In business, the role of a leader is often misunderstood. A true leader takes care of their people, especially when considering new hires. Leaders should take hiring decisions as seriously as adoption. Protecting the culture you've cultivated is more important than acquiring skills.
