The concept of why is already in the vernacular. It is now a noun. "That company doesn't know their why." "They need to learn their why." "That politician needs to understand his why." We talk about it as a noun. That never existed prior to 2009. That never existed prior to 2006 when I first started articulating it. This is the most amazing thing to me. It has now become a concept. It's part of the way we think about businesses and transactions and decisions.
Simon SinekAnd when a leader embraces their responsibility to care for people instead of caring for numbers, then people will follow, solve problems and see to it that that leaderโs vision comes to life the right way, a stable way and not the expedient way.
Simon SinekLeading is not the same as being the leader. Being the leader means you hold the highest rank, either by earning it, good fortune or navigating internal politics. Leading, however, means that others willingly follow youโnot because they have to, not because they are paid to, but because they want to.
