I was born in Yugoslavia and I remember one great communist teacher in my
youth in school. He explained to us why is communism the best system on the
world. Now, we call that ideological brain washing..
Leaders inspire us. Its always the why behind the what that sells and not
the what in itself.
Sharing this video because I believe this is a good TED talk!
We forget the questions which really needed to be asked and answered
People don’t care as much about what you do as what you believe. Here are
some insights on how to inspire others. http://ow.ly/uhJWu
great video!!!
*Innovation within our individual businesses* can seem like a tough task at
time. We all know we need to do it in order to get a one-up on the
competition, we just don’t know how or where to start.
When you think about it, innovation can be as easy as studying a task and
breaking it down into all its individual steps and then trying to eliminate
as many steps as possible. (Nate Kontny)
*Simon Sinek has other ideas: “People don’t buy what you do, they buy why
you do it” – If you have seen this video before, watch it again. If you
haven’t seen it and you work in business – watch it now!*
I just spent a few hours writing down “why” I do what I do… it takes some
effort but it’d worth it. this video is excellent, thank you!
Simon has some interesting points, but it is distracting that most of his
talk was an Apple fawning session.
Steve Jobs was a terrible leader in many ways, unless we’re assuming his
most ardent fans considered him their “leader”. He took ideas from
employees and then presented them as his own, swore and screamed in
meetings when mistakes were made, and bullied other companies using his
company’s cash horde and patent horde to threaten them illegally.

Regardless of the quality of his company’s products or the success of his
company, he is not a leader that I would revere, hold up as a great
example, or try to emulate.
I consider this a “must watch” for leaders. It seems that it can apply to
anything you are leading in…not just business. Watch it…do it! 🙂 #TF
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.
Hey #HRockstars !
Great inspiring leaders and organizations communicate in a golden circle
way.
– Very few organizations know WHY they do what they do – the purpose and
call – why should anyone care
– *Want to inspire? – start with WHY*
*People buy WHY you do it*
In the #HRockstars tribe:
– *We believe in challenging accepted practices*
– *We believe in initiating **#unstoppable** personal transformation,
universal growth and elevating workplace excellence and innovation*
Our #infectious connections lead us to *co-create and celebrate the triumph
of the human spirit*
*By sharing remarkable stories*
Through *cutting-edge blog posts and other pure blissful artistic forms of
human expression*
*It is how we dance and communicate together that makes us unique and enjoy
the spirit of our collective renaissance*
Have a great weekend all!

Great advice from Simon Sinek, Give it a thought on “WHY” we are doing what
we are doing.
A belated Happy CNY to everyone… sorry for disappeared during this
period.
Simon Sinek!
I am watching his videos and trying to get the things to my head and some
speeches taking to heart too!
Enjoy the video!

forward to move in moderation in life an things will come to light without
effort…
#tedtalksed #simonsinek This talk many Realtors can learn something
from. Amazing & yet so simple. #inspiringaction
Sorry – for being a little windy.
Apple began with a stronger PC hardware architecture that was not so
dependent on SW drivers. The IBM PC platform was dependent driver updates
and users had to load SW when connecting peripherals. Apple did not have
a necessarily better architecture, but it was easier at the time because
CPU and ram was small at the time. This gave Apple a head start.
Today Apple PC’s force buyers to by their SW more than IBM PC based
computers.
“We just happen to make great computers” NO. They should said “greater
computers” if it were true. But it is not. Today, we know that Apple PC’s
are not reliable. Trying to hide the power cables by making them white and
to small and with no strain relief caused many failures and customers were
then charged to buy a new expensive power supplies ust because of frayed
wires on the power supply. People want a good value. Low cost.Q
No, you should not hire people that believe what you believe. You should
hire people that design products that are an extension of themselves –
meaning they are dedicated to blow people away with their innovation
capabilities as an individual and on a team. Be careful of the self
supporting innovators who attempt to take credit from the team. The star
performers always give due credit to the team.
I think you have got it wrong. It’s not about the pitch. Good products do
not need a pitch.
Those who lead do not inspire us. Those who lead hand-off and put in place
the subject matter experts that have the experience to make the right
decisions. Too many leaders like Obama make the inexperienced decision
themselves – not involving, nor giving credit to those who have the
experience (Currency war, Healthcare, troop deployment, star wars, mars
missions, 2nd Amendment Rights.
These same so-called leaders are imbedded in our corporate arena. They make
decisions to make allot of money now and screw their customers now – rather
than developing a long term more profitable relationship.
These so-called leaders say little profit in the 1st year is failure.
A real leader says long term profit and stability outweighs short term
greed and failures due to pushing out products to early. I’ve seen this
short-term greed ruin companies started by innovative engineers.
If you study Apples management history, you will find that there were many
who wanted to take the profit now at customers expense – but Steve Jobs
went to war with these profiteers to put more money into innovation. He
clearly had vision (and personal extension capability) that very few of us
technical leaders have. I believe that he presented a system engineering
process to Apple that many other companies do not have – The technical
capability is not enough. The real leaders will often sacrifice their own
career to do battle with, and stop the greedy (Take the profit now)
managers.
90% of the time in the most advanced Aerospace and commercial system
developments, I have seen to profiteers win during design and product
development meeting to push a product onto a customer after cutting needed
system engineering process. Even IPDS does not work because inexperienced
managers actually receive a raise for cutting critically needed processes –
then latter the system fails and much more money has to be renegotiated
because of inexperienced management not involving subject matter experts.
What we are seeing today is bean counter managers removing experienced
personnel and replacing them with inexperienced college grads.
The bean counters advertise a big savings in salary to stock holders.
But what they didn’t see is the future customers moving to competitors who
charge less in the end because the new college grads rarely get it right
the 1st time.
Some companies will try and dupe customers by keeping one or two senior
experience people on staff and present them to customers – while the other
95% personnel are inexperienced. I’ve seen the experienced guys do all the
work and they get sick or die.
I say keep battling the profiteers and achieve the perfect balance for
handover from senior to junior personnel.
Do not let the bean counter Departments and section heads determine who
stays and who goes. Only experienced personnel should decide this.
Sorry to get so windy – but I’ve seen allot of failures and successes and
it’s not about a formula. It’s about battling greed, wanting to do it the
right way as an extension of you and the team.
It’s human nature that blocks our success in resolving the right processes
for our products and the world problems.
Great information! The golden circle!
“People don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it”
He may be right. My opinion of Apple happens to be the exact opposite of
his. But my rejection of Apple probably lies mostly in the “Why”, and less
on the fact that the products are objectively worse for my usage patterns.
