My career is an accident. It started when I set out to rediscover my passion and reignite a spark I’d lost — and that journey led me to the work I do now. If you know me from my books or my speaking, you know I’m fascinated by why people do what they do. What makes someone find joy and meaning in their life, or pursue something far greater than themselves? I started A Bit of Optimism to explore those ideas and expand my own perspective. This podcast is a trove of honest conversations, with people who challenge me, teach me, or simply help me see things in a different way. Some guests are...

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.

Finite games, like football or chess, have known players, fixed rules, and a clear endpoint. The winners and losers are easily identified. Infinite games, games with no finish line, like business or politics, or life itself, have players who come and go. The rules of an infinite game are changeable, while infinite games have no defined endpoint. There are no winners or losers - only ahead and behind. The question is, how do we play to succeed in the game we’re in? In this revelatory new audiobook, Simon Sinek offers a framework for leading with an infinite mindset.

I believe fulfillment is a right and not a privilege. We are all entitled to wake up in the morning inspired to go to work, feel safe when we’re there and return home fulfilled at the end of the day. Achieving that fulfillment starts with understanding exactly WHY we do what we do. As Start With Why has spread around the world, countless readers have asked me the same question: How can I apply Start With Why to my career, team, company or nonprofit? Along with two of my colleagues, Peter Docker and David Mead, I created this hands-on, step-by-step guide to help you find your WHY.

Simon Sinek's iconic global bestseller has sold more than three million copies by asking a simple fundamental question: Why are some people and organisations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? The answer to why is another why. Leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in common, but they all started with a WHY. They realized that people won't truly buy into an idea, a movement, a product or a service until they understand the WHY behind it.

This is a collection of the best leadership speeches, gave by the most outstanding leaders of our generation.

Jogos finitos têm participantes conhecidos, regras fixas e um objetivo claro que, ao ser alcançado, encerra o jogo. Nele, vencedores e perdedores são facilmente identificados. Em jogos infinitos, os participantes estão sempre mudando e as regras não são precisas. Não existem vencedores e perdedores. Quanto mais eu entendia a diferença entre os dois tipos de jogos, mais via jogos infinitos ao nosso redor. Percebi que grande parte das dificuldades que as empresas enfrentam existe simplesmente porque seus líderes estão participando de um jogo infinito com uma mentalidade finita.

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.

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?

Es gibt Spiele, bei denen sind die Regeln fest, die Spieler bekannt und das Ziel klar. Etwa beim Schach oder Fußball. Dann gibt es noch Spiele, bei denen die Spieler kommen und gehen, die Regeln sich verändern, es gibt nur davor und danach und damit auch keinen finalen Gewinner. So zum Beispiel in der Politik und in der Wirtschaft. Simon Sinek hat sich mit den endlosen Spielen beschäftigt und das Geheimnis langfristigen Erfolgs entschlüsselt. In seinem neuen Buch Das unendliche Spiel beschreibt er eine Geschäftsstrategie, die auf der Spieltheorie basiert.

Per ispirare gli altri non basta spiegare quello che facciamo, bisogna rendere chiaro il motivo per cui lo facciamo. Puntando l'attenzione sull'importanza del "perché", ovvero della motivazione profonda che ci spinge ad agire, Simon Sinek ha portato milioni di persone a ripensare a tutto ciò che fanno, nella vita e sul lavoro. Per Sinek sentirsi realizzati è un diritto, non un privilegio. Tutti abbiamo il diritto di alzarci alla mattina sentendoci motivati ad andare a lavorare, e di rientrare a casa la sera sentendoci realizzati per quello che abbiamo fatto.

Ohne ein gutes, verlässliches Team könnten viele Führungskräfte ihre Ziele niemals erreichen. Doch leider werden viele Teams von internen Machtkämpfen, Streitigkeiten und den daraus resultierenden Misserfolgen ausgebremst - und die Führungskräfte schaffen es dann oft auch mit Leistungsanreizen oder Belohnungen nicht, ein Team wieder in die Spur zu bekommen. Doch warum sind hier manche Vorgesetzte oft erstaunlich hilflos?

Am Beginn einer jeden Erfolgsgeschichte steht eine einfache Frage: Warum? Warum sind manche Organisationen profitabler als andere? Warum werden einige Führungskräfte von ihren Mitarbeitern mehr geschätzt und andere weniger? Warum sind manche Menschen in der Lage, immer und immer wieder erfolgreich zu sein? In seinem Bestseller, der nun zum ersten Mal in deutscher Sprache erscheint, zeigt Simon Sinek, dass erfolgreiche Persönlichkeiten wie Martin Luther King Jr. oder Steve Jobs alle nach demselben, natürlichen Muster dachten, handelten und kommunizierten.
