What IS Trust Actually? | Simon Sinek

The question is: What kind of environment can I create so that my people can work at their natural best?

Simon is an unshakable optimist. He believes in a bright future and our ability to build it together.

Described as “a visionary thinker with a rare intellect,” Simon has devoted his professional life to help advance a vision of the world that does not yet exist; a world in which the vast majority of people wake up every single morning inspired, feel safe wherever they are and end the day fulfilled by the work that they do.

I love how Simon's whole channel is basically about explaining how to be a good person to giant corporations 😂😂

Trust is the foundation of any strong relationship. It's the confidence and reliance you have in someone to act in your best interest, even when you're not around. Trust is built over time through consistent actions and honest communication. It requires vulnerability and a willingness to be open and transparent with one another. Trust can be fragile, but when nurtured, it can create deep connections and meaningful relationships. Remember, trust is earned, not given, and it's up to you to decide who you choose to trust.

Trusting Teams! Great message and chapter from the infinite game! We had a great time reviewing that book recently.

[Khorothis]

Since Simon didn't give a definition of trust, I'll write one up based on the example he did give: trust is a feeling of certainty that the trusted person is aware of my vulnerability and sees it as something to protect rather than something to exploit.

[StantonLuke]

Yes! Strive for your ‘natural best’! As leaders we need to understand how our behaviour impacts those around us.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6

I hope employers are watching Simon speak the truth here.

[SomebodysVincent]

And this is exactly why I always talk with my fellow co-workers. If leadership won't establish a great work environment, then hold my beer and I'll do it myself!

A very touchy video. What is trust, is commitment to oneself or loving yourself to the best version of yourself. Thank you Simon for your powerful video

After all these years... If Noah still works at The Other hotel, we would like to know how things have evolved for the better. Or... If the 4 Seasons have hired him full time.

[theTeslaFalcon]

So, how does this story of barista Noah define trust?
Simon trusted Noah?
Noah trusted Simon?
Noah trusted one mgmt but not another?
Where is the definiton of trust?

Trust is ………………leaving your door unlocked when you leave the house. 😊

TRUST Joshua 9:11
Every now and then when I’m hanging out laundry and one might fall from me I think about how the maid/helper would treat with the situation. Would she just have something like a towel fall on the ground and decide that she’s not going to wash it over again and just dust it off and put it on the line and you end up with dirty towels on your face and your private parts? Something like that falls a lot. Right now the same thing goes for restaurants where a tray of meat might fall to the ground causing losses in thousands. Do you take it up back and serve it, or do you do the right thing and dispose of it. If it falls off the tray at home we wouldn’t want to spend a lot of money on a time sensitive meal so we would do the same thing. With GOD we don’t have to worry about trust. He is completely pure. He won’t let us down and as such we should try our best to be excellent when serving Him and others.
Think about it.

Love how it ended. "natural best" not peak performance or anthing else.

' .. 'This is one of the simply the best examples of Simon's 😍😍'

[meenakapoor]

I listen to Simon regularly...and i have for years been empathetic and follow up on people's health / family situations and am there for them always. But the millennials that have joined....are so entitled. They take wfh at the drop of a hat...very cocky....i am usually very cool with them till I'm not. They are getting on my nerves. I don't feel like showing them any empathy coz I don't think they have a problem they are making lame excuses. How do I deal with them. They are all half my age.

Trust is a dangerous game in the world ( quote by Joker )

[stephenlopez]

Does anyone know what conference this was?

[bingeable]

It is the truth, but most leaders don't understand this.

[michaelshanealls]

We all have the ability to be our best when you feel empowered! Help, build up others when you can. We all will win !!!
