Start with Why

How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action

Simon Sinek argues that inspiring leaders and organisations communicate from the inside out: they start with why they do what they do, then explain how and what.

Three big ideas

  1. The golden circleWhy, then how, then what. Most people communicate the other way round.
  2. People buy whyPeople are drawn to what you believe, not just what you sell.
  3. Trust follows valuesShared beliefs build loyalty that features and prices can't.
