Simon Sinek: How great leaders inspire action

Simon is SO insightful AND "right on" with his understanding of leadership.  Note to others: when coming into an organization to change the status quo, KNOW WHO OWNS THE STATUS QUO practices!  or they WILL sabotage your efforts - their ways, their rules!

I'm told to hand over control because I am powerless... is this considered a Cop out? If so, Good Cop or Bad Cop?

Not sure why this particular interview rubs me off wrongly with the way he sounds condescending on the interviewers responses the last statement "it's not a good interview till we start quoting shakespeare" - what does that mean?
