How do we create an environment in which our people can work at their natural best?

This is the second of The 5 Practices outlined in THE INFINITE GAME.

leaders are not responsible for the results, they are responsible for the people who are responsible for results.

I'm an improved person! Because of your videos, my students loves me! It touched me whenever they say they love their mentor 😢 I wish I've bumped into your videos years ago... but I'm so grateful I've watch it whenever you released one! Thanks Simon!❤️ You're a life saver! I'm very grateful!

This is the only way how a company functions long term. Loved the Four Seasons example with Noah! Trust is the THING - thank you for sharing, making sure as a leader to be aware of it. Often, this deep pure trust is felt when we are born into the world and it is the most important emotion we can give our children as a parent. Trust, Safe Space and belonging

Thank you for your support and courage to keep going in this period of Pandemic and Work from Home, where we feel sometimes alone, without team, without leader, and I am listening to become a leader every day because we live in this infinite game, LIFE.
A big hug and warmly thank you with all my heart from Bucharest, Romania! Ramona & Giuseppe

Everything about this should be required reading for all managers. I’ve been getting my managers to watch this, and trying to live it myself. Thank you, Simon.

[MaxineAGGuess]

Trust is paramount! You’re an excellent lecturer/motivational speaker Simon. Thanks for such an instrumental and brilliant speech. These are solid tools for any leader.

[Youarturo]

A truely Master Class on Leadership !!! ... thank you Simon !!!

[SP-kivg]

Thanks Simon! Leadership leadership leadership, so inundated with this word and just hoping that our managers decide to be leaders

[PHM]

Last line sums it up, leaders make others “feel valued and valuable.” I think that’s what everyone wants

[talhashaukat]

Like is "rational"
LOVE is "emotional"
For sure people are not towels and the leaders certainly don't have to wring them out to bring out the most out of them.Just give them their space and don't only accept their flaws but embrace them.
Simon is phenomenal in expressing the most ABSTRACT of things in such a profound way that i can't even describe in words.
Much Love

Someone who finally gets it. My motto was always that people don`t work FOR the manager but rather that the manager is working for their people. The job of the employee is to DO their jobs. The manager is there to support them by empowering them to make decisions, ensuring they have the right tools & training and especially that they are well. In every way.

[sudutbicaraku]

I just don't get it why simon subscribers less than a millions, with this kind of knowledge and purpose in his life, he should've get more subscribers, love this man so much

[IdealClientExperience]

"It is a leader's responsibility to set the environment ..." Oh, my. Taking care of the people in our business is a high calling. If we just focus on our clients or customers we will surely miss the real joy of it all. Thanks, Simon Sinek!

[raquelpires]

This video made me see bad work environments from a different perspective and how much power a leader has. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us

[zuleigaagulhas]

Quite often we find ourselves in environments where leaders are working against each other instead of working together for the greater good of the organization. It boils down to
"Just keeping your head under the radar and collect your paycheck"

[JaroBerce]

Bravo Simon!
A very important issue is TRUST. Which start by trusting oneself. And those "bad " managers do not trust themselves - how can they trust people that they lead?

[lockewilliams]

Air Force active duty here! We watched this in our ALS class. It really opened my mind.

[saulgudino]

one of the best short and concise presentations I have seen in the subject of trusting teams and leadership in general. Thank you!
