Simon Sinek's recent video on 'The Millennial Question' went viral with over 150 million views and his TED Talk on the global bestseller Start with Why is the third most watched of all time. Sinek's latest work, Together is Better, is a little book of inspiration for the modern world. Most of us live our lives by accident - we live as it happens. Fulfilment comes when we live our lives on purpose. 'What are you going to do with your life? What are you doing with your life now?' 'Do you have goals? A vision? A clear sense of why you do what you do?' Almost everyone knows someone who has grappled with at least one of these questions. The answers can often seem elusive or uncertain. Though there are many paths to follow into the unknown future, there is one way that dramatically increases the chances we will enjoy the journey. To travel with someone we trust. We can try to build a successful career or a happy life alone, but why would we? Together is better. This unique and delightful little book makes the point that together is better in a quite unexpected way. Simon Sinek, bestselling author of Start With Why and Leaders Eat Last, blends the wisdom he has gathered from around the world with a heartwarming, richly illustrated original fable. Working hard for something we don't care about is called stress. Working hard for something we love is called passion.

A Little Book of Inspiration

Together Is Better

Kristen Hadeed

The inspiring, unlikely, laugh-out-loud story of how one woman learned to lead-and how she ultimately succeeded, not despite her many mistakes, but because of them. This is the story of how Kristen Hadeed built Student Maid, a cleaning company where people are happy, loyal, productive, and empowered, even while they're mopping floors and scrubbing toilets. It's the story of how she went from being an almost comically inept leader to a sought-after CEO who teaches others how to lead. Hadeed unintentionally launched Student Maid while attending college ten years ago. Since then, Student Maid has employed hundreds of students and is widely recognized for its industry-leading retention rate and its culture of trust and accountability. But Kristen and her company were no overnight sensa­tion. In fact, they were almost nothing at all. Along the way, Kristen got it wrong almost as often as she got it right. Giving out hugs instead of feed­back, fixing errors instead of enforcing accountability, and hosting parties instead of cultivating meaning­ful relationships were just a few of her many mistakes. But Kristen's willingness to admit and learn from those mistakes helped her give her people the chance to learn from their own screwups too. Permission to Screw Up dismisses the idea that leaders and orga­nizations should try to be perfect. It encourages people of all ages to go for it and learn to lead by acting, rather than waiting or thinking. Through a brutally honest and often hilarious account of her own strug­gles, Kristen encourages us to embrace our failures and proves that we'll be better leaders when we do.

Simon Sinek's recent video on 'The Millennial Question' went viral with over 180 million views. Find Your Why is the follow up to Start with Why, the global bestseller and the subject of the third most watched TED Talk of all time. With Start With Why, Simon Sinek inspired a movement to build a world in which the vast majority of us can feel safe while we are at work and fulfilled when we go home at night. Now, along with two of his colleagues, Peter Docker and David Mead, Sinek has created a guide to the most important step any business can take: finding your why. This easy-to-follow guide starts with the search for your personal why, and then expands to helping your colleagues find your organization's why. With detailed instructions on every stage in the process, the book also answer common concerns, such as: What if my why sounds like my competitor's? Can you have more than one why? And, if my work doesn't match my why, what do I do? Whether you're entry level or a CEO, whether your team is run by the founder or a recent hire, these simple steps will lead you on a path to a more fulfilling life and long-term success for you and your colleagues.

The Deluxe Edition of Leaders Eat Last, now with an expanded chapter and appendix on leading millennials, includes over 30 minutes of exclusive video and 30 minutes of audio of Simon Sinek. The acclaimed, bestselling author of Start With Why and Together is Better delves deeper into book’s themes and shares additional examples and insights. Imagine a world where almost everyone wakes up inspired to go to work, feels trusted and valued during the day, then returns home feeling fulfilled. This is not a crazy, idealized notion. Today, in many successful organizations, great leaders create environments in which people naturally work together to do remarkable things. In his work with organizations around the world, Simon Sinek noticed that some teams trust each other so deeply that they would literally put their lives on the line for each other. Other teams, no matter what incentives are offered, are doomed to infighting, fragmentation and failure. Why? The answer became clear during a conversation with a Marine Corps general. "Officers eat last," he said. Sinek watched as the most junior Marines ate first while the most senior Marines took their place at the back of the line. What's symbolic in the chow hall is deadly serious on the battlefield: Great leaders sacrifice their own comfort--even their own survival--for the good of those in their care. Too many workplaces are driven by cynicism, paranoia, and self-interest. But the best ones foster trust and cooperation because their leaders build what Sinek calls a "Circle of Safety" that separates the security inside the team from the challenges outside. Sinek illustrates his ideas with fascinating true stories that range from the military to big business, from government to investment banking.

cómo los grandes líderes motivan a actuar

Empieza con el porqué

In finite games, like football, the rules are fixed and the endpoint is clear. In infinite games, like business or politics, the players come and go, the rules change, and there is no defined endpoint.. Many problems exist because leaders are playing with a finite mindset in an infinite game.

Por que apenas algumas pessoas dizem “Adoro meu trabalho”? Parece injusto que encontrar realização no trabalho seja como ganhar na loteria. Que só apenas alguns sortudos consigam se sentir valorizados por suas empresas. Porém, em várias partes do mundo, líderes estão construindo ambientes em que as pessoas sentem que fazem parte. Em algumas equipes, as pessoas confiam tanto umas nas outras que literalmente dão a vida pelos colegas. É o caso, por exemplo, dos Fuzileiros Navais norte-americanos, que têm esse lema: “Os oficiais se servem por último”. A partir da observação desta e de outras corporações, e também do estudo das substâncias biológicas desenvolvidas ao longo do processo evolutivo do homem, o etnógrafo Simon Sinek mostra como certos locais criam Círculos de Segurança, que levam a equipes estáveis, adaptadas e confiantes, onde todos se sentem à vontade e devotam toda a sua energia para, junto com a empresa, prosperar e aproveitar oportunidades.

Líderes Se Servem por Último

Publicado anteriormente com o título Porquê? Mais de 160.000 exemplares vendidos no Brasil. "Um dos livros mais úteis e poderosos que eu li em anos. Simples e elegante, nos mostra como líderes devem liderar." – William Ury, coautor de Como chegar ao sim Por que algumas pessoas e organizações são mais inovadoras, admiradas e lucrativas do que outras? Por que algumas despertam grande lealdade por parte de clientes e funcionários? Para Simon Sinek, a resposta está no forte senso de propósito que as inspira a darem o melhor de si para uma causa expressiva – o porquê. Ao publicar esse livro, o autor iniciou um movimento que tem ajudado milhões de pessoas a encontrar um sentido maior no próprio trabalho e, assim, inspirar colegas e clientes. Ilustrando suas ideias com as fascinantes histórias de Martin Luther King, Steve Jobs e os irmãos Wright, Simon mostra que as pessoas só irão se dedicar de corpo e alma a um movimento, ideia, produto ou serviço se compreenderem o verdadeiro propósito por trás deles. Nesse livro, você verá como pensam, agem e se comunicam os líderes que exercem a maior influência, e também descobrirá um modelo a partir do qual as pessoas podem ser inspiradas, movimentos podem ser criados e organizações, construídas. E tudo isso começa pelo porquê.
