Simon Sinek: How great leaders inspire action
Loading...
Uploaded by TEDtalksDirector on May 4, 2010
http://www.ted.com Simon Sinek presents a simple but powerful model for how leaders inspire action, starting with a golden circle and the question "Why?" His examples include Apple, Martin Luther King, and the Wright brothers -- and as a counterpoint Tivo, which (until a recent court victory that tripled its stock price) appeared to be struggling.

OK we get the MF apple example. I don't do macs. I want an Amiga 9000

@a99999a99999 You mad because you paid too much for your gimmick?
-
lol @ the attempt to correlate his model to the structure of the brain. This guy is full of it, what a wild claim that the Wright brothers were motivated by some feel-good ideal. Oh, and Apple markets bullshit to idiots, just like Simon Sinek...
-
" People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it" very true...
-
what a coincident that when he mentions wright brothers discovering flying at 10:29 you hear a plane in the background
-
@Uberdah Yeah, but they win.
-
@uberdah Nice story bro. Needs more dragons.
-
Lost me at "why is Apple so innovative?". Apple is a prime example of innovation for innovation's sake. Gimmicks for the witless masses.
-
@trikalee23 Yes!:)
-
@earlyAMbirds Very interesting point, I'll have to watch that one.
