Measure momentum.

The metrics we have to measure success aren't wrong - they're just incomplete.

“I actually want to know!...have I offered the world something of value!”
Hit me right where I live Simon.
Thank you.

[naveengwalia]

the way he said, "you better keep that person on your team", shows the intensity of the truth.

[SJ-ygbm]

OMG...you actually put into words what I have witnessed and found mind boggling for years...you ROCK Simon! Keep going..YOU are making a difference!

I have worked in some of the largest organizations in India - one in the Fortune 500 list, and I found this message on "Trust" to be so relevant! Trust and Integrity are more important for sustainable success and overall team morale than just hollow business success parameters.


Thank you, Simon Sinek for reinforcing this belief.

[vamonarch]

Valuable insights! I've left organizations that were more concerned with "looking good" rather than actually "being good". All the perceptual BS gets us nothing but unsustainable, short-term gains and self-delusion.

[nicoyou]

You nailed it again Simon! I cannot get enough of your videos. A true messaging magicien. A five stars experience, +1 thumbs up momentum 👍

[seyedfarshad]

There are so many values in your talks. These stuff should have been taught in schools.

[MMortal]

I hit the like button when he said "it's call bullsh*t!" Because all these books coming out with claim title of 'best selling' oh please, we know how hard it took for you to do that

[awasall]

Thank you for the knowledge,
thank you for the passion,
thank you for the beauty,
thank you for the struggles,
Thank you from human kind!

[yasminmuhammadelias]

Very well-stated. The principles that matter and ends DON'T justify means. In short, ethics and integrity is all that matters because they bring consistency and momentum.

[MrMohamedelkhatim]

This is where you care about the “ What “ => target .
And the
“How” => the values that get you there.

[mahmud-ahsan]

I love Simon Sinek. I often listen to many of his speeches. One of the best mentor and a great personality.

[PracticalInspiration]

I've experienced this in my life on a number of occasions. So many companies focus on the numbers without focusing on steady momentum. Amazing share

[eugenegohmugen]

In the eastern mind, performance and personal integrity is one and the same, that was how leaders were picked in the ancient times. In the western mind, you can performa at work and be totally be moral-less person and it is accepted. Just an interesting thought. Thanks for sharing Simon.

[amsaric]

I just wanted to say that this entire answer is phenomenal. I cannot even pick my favourite part.

[saraestrella]

[mindfulrestaurantcoach]

[manuayosa]

Simon, thank you for everything you're doing to inspire people. You are making the world a better place.

[Tzarskij]

Dear Simon, I just want to say that you have really hit the nail on the coffin. I have watched and listened to many of your videos and I believe you are right. The metrics are screwed and it breaks our societies and our humanity in the long run. I will aspire to preach your message to others and to incorporate it in myself. The world needs better leaders. All the best!
