Thanks!
Thanks!
Thank You
Many thanks
Thanks man!
As an Iraq and Afghanistan combat vet I am grateful for the respect Simon has for the military and the way he references the military to illustrate certain philosophies and ideas he speaks on. This world would be far better off if people like Simon Sinek were representing us in politics/Government. This country needs more people like Simon. Also, FYI... The other speaker/author he’s referring to is Adam Grant. He’s a respected professor at the Wharton School at UPENN. Two different styles of delivery and writing but they are both incredible to follow and read up on.
Great thinkers
Then DO NOT put him in government ! Those in power would sacrifice him like Kennedy in a heart beat. He is letting his light shine and we are inspired and motivated and blessed by that. If we ALL do that , darkness will have no place to appear.
Psychopaths don't need people like him, they need mercenaries for their endless wars
James Oliver lol
Thank you for telling me who the other guy is 😊I was so curious, and also for sharing your opinión. Hace a great day
The most useful 90 minutes I've ever spent. Simon is an inspiration.
When this gentleman speaks, time becomes meaningless to me. I just wanted to watch the first 5 minutes of the talk and here I am after 90 minutes commenting on his video. Great talk sir. I absolutely enjoyed.
America never won a single war. They just kill Ed innocent people everywhere. Sinek is not a gentleman he's devil. Satan. He's openly justifying K I L L I N G of innocent people. In Vietnam or Iraq or Afghanistan or Hiroshima or Nagasaki. How shameful it is on ur part to glorify such a mean thinker. Is sinek an animal?
@@mytube1000javed You sound a little crazy. He wasn't justifying, nor condemning, anything. Military structures accentuate many different dynamics within group and team settings. They are just examples to help explain the point. Only power hungry people and the military industrial complex approve killing innocent people. Normal people do not approve. However, the US has indeed removed many bad actors and terrorists who openly threatened humanity as well, so your wholesale condemnation all military is not right, either. Furthermore, it is incorrect to say the US hasn't won a war. You're not typing in German (or Japanese > Hiroshima/Nagasaki).
@@mytube1000javed I see you're Muslim. Your apparent hatred for America is understanding now.
Simon, your answer to Drew at 1:11:44 , saved me from allowing a finite minded investor into my new business. THANK YOU!
Crazy how much free knowledge is on the internet im always learning why go to seminars when you can watch them on youtube
Best teacher so far for leadership on KZhead in a future world in my opinion. Someone to follow.
I think this might be the best of Simon I have ever seen. And trust me, I've seen a lot 😁
When you finally realize you have been playing a game you were unaware of it makes me feel a mix of emotions. When you are aware you are no longer in denial. Moving forward after blowing up multiple times in the finite game you hopefully surrender because the struggle gets real. You finally realize your playing the wrong game. If you can't beat them join em. I want what you have and will work everyday to get where you are. I'm tired and no longer want to blow up. Thank you for being you. Your time is priceless and your mindset is my goal. I will study those that have what I want until I understand how to play this infinite game. I appreciate you and all you do. You have been a major role in the butterfly effect that is taking place in my life. Thank you Simon.

Thank you for the notes

nice setlist
Thank you for these full length clips!
I've gotten so much out of listening to this talk this afternoon. I happen to be rebranding my business right now and this is super useful information. I've been revisiting my mission, vision and core beliefs and this was perfectly timed. Thank you for your inspiration. I may have to share your "Just Cause/Vision" - POWERFUL.
Fantastic to see these longer talks, great video!
I just wanted to say I am beyond grateful for you. You are truly inspiring, and I appreciate you. Thank you Simon ❤️
Forever grateful for this guy. Such an inspiration.
I'm learning a lot, Sinek. Thanks for sharing... I didn't watch the video completely, because I'm taking notes and rewatching everything to apply the knowledge on my life... but I'm learning a lot. Thank you again!
Simon this is amazing, the perspective of infinite games is real game change. In Poland there is one of the greatest charity organization WOSP whose activity changed in social movement and they quote is "we are going to play charity orchestra till the end of the world and one day longer"....
Awesome...I've been waiting for new decent length detailed video like this... I really like every things or theories or mindsets you have... I'm trying my best in this infinite game of my life in this one and only world.
I LOVE the explanation between my “why” (aka, my past) and “just cause” (my future). I am a true believer in this process and my desire is to spread this love within the community where I work. I truly love the people I work with and we are seeing changes, in our department, but we are not seeing this in our C-team...we have our own Jack Welch and just had a 5% workforce layoff. I have 7-10 years left before retirement and I SO STRONGLY desire to be part of the revolution....I AM part of the revolution. It will happen - I am devoted to it and to make whatever impact that I can.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this video again. Simply AWESOME!
Simon Sinek deserve a Noble prize :) :)
Nobel prize deserve Simon sinek.
Thanks for sharing and inspiring such a great view of how our lives should be! I want this Infinite Mindset to be a reality in my life.
This is really cool ... I am so ooo motivated and my paradigm shifted completely. Thanks Simon!
Thank you for this sir. I am grateful.
This is a powerful talk for my to be son in law Shantanu. He has worked relentless to establish an entity. He has been working as a pillar to support his friends take forward the joint venture. An insightful talk that will help him take forward ETR in colorful dimensions.
One of the best inspiring man on earth
Simon has one of the best perspectives to unravel the mysteries of the 21st Century.
Whoever has disliked this obviously has a business that's now failed, coz every single thing this man said here is relatable in every possible way.
May be those are his rivals :)
No. I dislike it because his views on Friedman are narrow and ignorant.
@@eduardocorvello6378 he's actually never really elaborated on his 'view' on Friedman. He only mentions people's adaptation to Friedman's work which is contradictory to how humans interact and build companies. You're exactly the person that he describes as a bad leader and listener.
@@TvisZ you are ignorant as well
This is good food for the soul! I thank you Simon really appreciate 🙏🏿 this thought provoking reality!
Thankyou Simon. Great inspiration and a challenge for us all.
Great talk. We've been trying to inspire clients of ours with your stuff for a few years now. We have a digital agency who's sole purpose is to make clients companies better to work for. Seems like you and Seth and pushing in a different direction to much of the world.
i think there's a song that perfectly sums this video up: I want to be the very best, Like no one ever was. To catch them is my real test, To train them is my cause. I will travel across the land, Searching far and wide. Each Pokemon to understand The power that's inside...
1:05:36 - I thought of this quote when I heard this. “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity”.
I died. ty
If it makes you feel better, I'll laugh at it.
i like simon how he discuss things and super optimistic.
Thank you for the great speech... I loved it very well.... I am a dream person who love to create a company which is a dream come true to others.... Well thanks for inspiring me alot....
absolutely...and the best way to GROW this mindset is to study the BEFORE and AFTER stories of companies that DO have thhis mindset (and failed and picked up again) and to ASSOCIATE with HIGH end people WITH this mindset..SIMON was on point when he answered YOU NEED TO hAVE YOUR multipliers CONNECTED to a LEADERSHIP training plan...that isnt just making them good XXX but trained to LEAD and gROW and INSPIRE and tAKE the INiTIATIVE.. Once again BRILLIANTLY FASCINATING YOUNG LEADER.
A great communicator of others' wisdom. Very smart.
Simon Sinek is at it again! always doing what he knows best.
Simon, you’ve changed my perspective and continue to do so for years and years now. I’m so incredibly impressed by your Q&A section. Almost every answer made me emotional just because of how passionate and wonderful the answers are. Not many speakers who can do that, you are one of a kind. Thanks for believing in something so world changing
Thank you very much, Simon! Your ideas and speeches are so inspiring to me and my team, that it makes our work easy.
Love to see vampire weekend at the end of this. Makes me feel at home. Incredible speech, I’m always pushed and inspired to be better by you.
What a great video, presentation, content and value, one the best videos on leadership I saw
I took a nap while listening to KZhead about conspiracies and woke up to this. What’s ironic is I’ve actually been thinking about your five principles of what’s wrong with the perspective and mindset and you clarified it and put it into words. I could tell from the audience questions that they weren’t quite able to internalize your speech. I understand and love it. This is the poison seeping from Wall Street unto Main Street. They win no matter the cost. In politics the philosophy is “the ends justify the means.” I praise your philosophy, but it is an uphill battle and very unpopular in our culture. Thank you for sharing. ❤️ I do disagree with a few of your comments and opinions, but I still respect your thinking.
just discovered your channel sir - happy new year! Please stay healthy and keep up spreading and sharing this mindset to allow existing and upcoming leadership to steer and adjust their way of leading!
1:05:36 - I thought of this quote when I heard this. “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity”.
Wow who's quote is that?
@@bryceduyvewaardt8136 Lucius Annaeus Seneca, also known as Seneca the Younger, who was a Hispano-Roman Stoic philosopher.
Great conversation. Great vision and good job spreading the word for more attentive, servant leadership, among other ideas. An idealist proposition but that does not take away from the pursuit of the ‘infinite’. The other side of the spectrum, the one opposite to the bloodsucking, soul sucking organization that just wants our labor tends to be a victimhood mentality. The greatness of your vision calls on more people to rise above their finite circumstances and stop playing the finite game our top leaders seem to be governed by. If more people put forth this laborious effort to support what so many want it could be better for all. It is much easier to maintain what we have then to transform what we have become. I’m all in with your vision Simon. I find it difficult, once pulling myself out of the finite game to show others there is a better way. The problem is it requires more discipline and hard work and it is not by any means instant gratification. That is a tough sell in America.
Thanks, Simon 🙏.....I am going to share this talk with maximum people 👍
Leaders must constantly change to keep up with rapidly changing times! Love this video because leadership is not a one-size-fits-all mentality. Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to watching more amazing content!!
Very informative and great videos you have over on your channel!
Great video - one thing i would change though is; teach them how to lead before promotion. Give everybody the opportunity to be taught how to lead an be a leader, they will all take something away from it, the leaders, however, will take away more, and step up their game to become a better "people person".
I agree with you on what you say Simon. What you do is good and important . Thank you :)
Good mornig sir simon,thank you so much i am very expiring with you,your peach for the leadership.i love so much.
Thanks for sharing! As every time great! You recently changed my life with „why“ :-) Looking forward to see you in Berlin somewhen! KR Andy
Yet another great video, Simon. Please share more of your talks for the few of us who won't get to see you talk in person.
I read Carlos Castaneda and you to get motivation and great insights. I haven't bought the book yet, but i'll have you know that you made an impact here in Mexico city and i recommend and show your videos to as many people as i can. Have a good one.
Absolutely love this. He’s my new favorite person to listen to!!!
I just wanna say that I love you. You are my role model and one day we will shake hands. Thank you for doing what you do. Best regards from Brazil.
Thank you Fernando, for you post, May Jesus Christ bless you. People are amazing creatures and I’m thankful to see your message today.
Simon - THANK YOU FOR THIS! This video has changed my outlook on business and team building. I develop new & upcoming brands, and this philosophy has been pivotal in me guiding others over the small business hurdles most think are insurmountable.
Learn something new from this im so glad i will apply this when i will become manager or leader
That was a good talk. Really helpful. Thanks ^^
Excellent content, thank you very much. Definitely changed my mindset.
That's so true! We need to have control and they need to trust the team..
Thank you, Simon!!! You are an inspiration and the answer to so many questions I had in my life. Now it is clear to me. Thanks again! :)
Been waiting for this! Thank you for finally posting
When this gentleman speaks, time becomes meaningless to me. I just wanted to watch the first 5 minutes of the talk and here I am after 90 minutes commenting on his video. Great talk sir. I absolutely enjoyed.
I admire your work Simon.
I have been doing these things for a long time and it is great to hear that it is the recipe for the infinite game. I always say it is not about the jobs we've done. It is about the next.
in response to Richards response to Simons question on how the world should judge whether his life was a success or not. Judge it by my children and the life they live not by what I did at Virgin. Reminds me of a a saying I heard many years ago: Children, they are a blessing that we send to the future that we will never see.
Love your work and talks Simon
Glad you mentioned about Vietnam’s war 👏🥰as an example, but no body won in fact, except for many deads and destroyed wills, damaged things. But thank you so much for a great speech 👍👍👍 love it 🥰
I could learn a lot from this guy. He is such a brilliant speaker, captivating!!
Dig in and use his talking points to grow. Be
Such great information! My wish is for the world to start leading without titles and putting people before profits!
Simon, my man. Thanks again! :)
Awesome mindset Simon, thanks!
Thank you Simon.
This simply put in “Work for this world as if you will live forever and work for the here-after as if you will die tomorrow.” Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib
So religion is a finite game, and development is an infinite game?
@@notnodnord2848 the word "as if" it's here for a purpose, you couldn't absolutely live forever but knowing that, make you work to get your maximum potential after your last day came.
@@mibrahimdev I get that. But the second part of Ali RA's words (work for the here after as if you're gonna die tomorrow) seems to position religion as a finite game. I don't think it's offensive to look at Religion as a finite game, no? It's not necessarily bad. It just means that religious practice has a time limit. Which it does. The adherents of any religion are only expected to practice their beliefs as long as they live.
@@notnodnord2848 If u pray before u sleep,as long as u are sleeping it will be as if u are still praying. If u pray before eating a meal,as long as u are eating will be just as if u are still praying If u pray before studying about this world,your study will be as if u are praying
@@notnodnord2848 I did not have a final judgment on this topic, but just brainstorming, as a believer person it seems that the rules are clear, the goals to be a winner are well defined, the opponents are known ( mainely my self, the devil, the persons that make injustices...) so yes it looks like a finite game
The ways of leadership have to change!
Yes, but it begins with us, at an individual level, as leaders of those we interact with. Sinek's talks are DEAD TO YOU if you only use them as mental masturbation over how, "Bosses and leaders are evil and need to adjust to *my* needs!!!" Of course, there's truth in that leadership in general needs some reworking, but the impetus has to be on you to make individual change!
You are the problem and you are the solution.
I would love to work for someone who believes what you believe. That is why I share everything I learn from you.
I enjoy listening to Simon but I’ve heard this same story so many times. I would love to hear something new and fresh for a change.
he is just so right on. brand is so important bc brand is People, brand is not logos or color HEX.
Thanks for this great perspective.
Great communicator!!!!!
I'm a new subscriber, based on the value and quality of this video ALONE! Amazing amount of information, obvious when you hear it so easily described, and something I think literally everyone should watch. This goes hand-in-hand with my respect for companies such as SpaceX, and explains so much about why they are so successful, and why they seem to always be so many steps ahead. Truly fascinating :-}
Thanks Simon!
Leadership is a lifestyle. Always inspired. Thanks Simon
Absolutely amazing presentation.. Not only for business
That was a great talk. Thank you!
Magnificent.👏👏👏
Grazie mille per la condivisione.
Great talk. Read from Doing To Leading
I love this man! ❤️
McD has a great system for training and promoting leadership.
Man ‘ I am head over heels with this man s preaching ‘ i want to meet him - I shall fly continents Jst to meet him !! Big fan !!!! Does anyone know how can I write to him .
Thank you!
One of the best....
I used to work at a company that used your ideas as a guide to do better. The CEO really wanted the company to follow the plan but it did not flow all the way down the line to where I worked. Although it was said to be there it wasn't. They only used what it was that they the ones in charge wanted to used as their model. I would really love to talk with you about the infinite game. Thank you.
Great talk and loved the answers! Keep spreading the world and the world will eventually change! 😍👏
I really like the way you think 😊 Thank you for sharing your ideas.
wow u r so mostly right.............thanks
I have started to reading the Infinite Game, I am very excited and happy to find concepts about the value of the finite and infinite mentality based on game theories, which together with Simon's experience makes us understand the famous Why of things. Viewing life and business as an infinite game with no end... what a great/healthy mindset to keep things in perspective. Especially like how Simon applied this to own life - if something doesn't go the way you wish, you're not necessarily "losing" you're just "behind." It's easy for many of us to beat ourselves up, but understanding that the game is not over and having the confidence to continue to strive for success will certainly help us achieve our long-term goals. Very refreshing! Thanks Simon.
I love game theory. I believe the resurgence of popularity in Dungeons & Dragons is because it is an infinite game. Unlike Monopoly, or Candyland, D&D has no winners & losers, just the story. Everyone works to further the story. 21st century business leaders could benefit from playing as a dungeon master...
Agreed. Because the story and history of oral tradition is also central to the human need to connect with others
Very good point sir. I can relate to your nerdiness and appreciate it. Story telling and the ability to relate to people goes a long well in the world of leadership and in the infinite game of life in which we all willingly or unwillingly take part
Interesting...🤔🔥
Just when i thought that he was harsh on the laying down the hard truth on that guy he said " i felt that i have to apologize for that answer" the level he is in is really in an infinite level
one thing ive found out is a sad but true thing about this. A lot of people will see this and use this for themselfs. True its about what you do with your self. But to truly follow what simon says, these kind of teachings needs to be shared and not used for them selfes. Why is this kind of thinking so rare to find whithin the human race. And people use this for own growth. If everyone would be this possitive like Simon immagine what amzing things we as the human race could accomplice! The possibilities would be endles i feel!
