One of The BEST SPEECHES EVER – Simon Sinek about Love, Relationships & Leadership


do you love your wife?
Yeah
That proved to me
I mean what the measure is
Give me the number that helps me know that
Because of course when I met her she did not like her
is not it?
Now you love her
Tell me about the day exactly that love occurred
An impossible question!
Together with Tom Bello
She did not fall in love because you remembered her birthday or you bought her roses on Valentine’s Day
But fell in love because the first thing you do when you wake up is to sleep before you lose your phone
You fell in love because you every time you go to bring you something from the refrigerator, come to her the same without question
You fell in love because even if your day is great at work and returned home and it was a very bad day
She did not say “Yes, yes, but let me tell you about my wonderful day!”
I sat down and listened to her and her bad day
She did not say anything about your wonderful day
That is why she fell in love with you
I can not tell you exactly today
Nor the specific act that led to it
But the accumulation of all these small acts
She seemed to wake up one day
And pressed the button
” love it”
Driving is exactly the same
There is no special event
There is nothing specific I can say that you should do
Which will make others trust you
Things are not going that way!
Is the accumulation of many, many small things
Which alone were simple and futile
Literally!
It makes no sense if you do it alone
People will look at these small actions
Which are good driving practices
They will say “will not come in handy”
You are right
But if you do it continuously
I have added to it many other small acts
Like “good morning” to someone for example
And look at it directly when asked
My friend George says
A three-star general in the Navy
He says that his test of the good leader lies in
A good leader when someone asks about his day
Be genuinely interested in the answer
Yeah
On our way to a meeting we are in a hurry
We ask the question “how is it”
And then “good good, we will continue talking later, I am late to meet”
If you ask the question
You have to stand there and listen to the answer
These are the simple little things that you do over and over again
What makes the staff say
“I love my work”
I do not like work
“I like the work”
Yes, the challenge is fun, the salary is good and people love it
“I love my work” in return
I mean I do not want to work anywhere else
I do not care how much someone else will pay me
I am loyal to people here
I take care of each of them individually as if they are my family
In the labor market we have colleagues and business partners
The armed forces have brothers and sisters
So they prepare each other
If you have a truly strong institutional culture
The staff will consider each other brothers and sisters
Yes, but we are already a family
No
brothers and sisters
deep love
They argue
But do not deny that love
You quarrel
But do not deny that love
I quarrel with my sister
But that moment threatens my sister
You must face me first
We quarrel internally and we will quarrel among ourselves
But will not hurt each other
If we face something from the outside
He will have to face a united front
brothers and sisters
Question here:
How do you make strangers from brothers and sisters?
Common beliefs
Shared values
parents
In other words, officials
Who care about the success of their children
Who are interested in raising them and teaching them the necessary skills
Discipline them when necessary
Help them build confidence in themselves
So they grow up and achieve achievements beyond your expectations
Greater than what you dream of doing for yourselves
The only thing I trust all the confidence in saying
Is that all leaders must have courage
Because it is difficult
It is difficult to deal with external pressures
It is difficult to confront and confront third parties that prompt you to do something for their own sake
Doing the right thing for your employees is difficult
He did nothing
Do a wild thing
May be subject to expulsion sometimes
And other times fall into problems
You may lose your job
The next person will take full credit
All this is true!
And the courage to do the right thing in the face of all these pressures
Only the best leaders who succeed in it
Who have that courage
Only the best leaders
Here’s Madness:
Courage is not a deep inner power
You do not dig deep inside to find courage
It does not lie inside
Courage is external
Courage comes from the support we feel from others
In other words: when you know and feel that someone is supporting you
Knowing that the moment when she recognizes “I can not do this”
There will be that person who says to you “I’m here with you! You can definitely do it”
This will motivate you and have the courage to do everything difficult
It’s not going to a temple for yourself somewhere for four weeks and going back and discovering courage
This is not what happens
These are the relationships we develop
They are the people around us who give us love and care and believe in our abilities
When we find such relationships in our lives, we will find the courage to do the right thing
And when you are brave in making your decisions
This role will inspire people in your organization to work with the same courage in their lives
In other words, courage is something external
This is inspiration, is not it?
She inspired me to follow your steps
But these relationships we build and grow over time
Will not make us leaders who aspire and aim to be only today
But it will often save you too
It will save you from depression
It will save you from giving up
And any negative feeling about your abilities, your potential and your future
Quite simply when someone says: I love you!
I will follow you whatever
So, I’d like to talk about this for a moment
Why do you think that something intrinsic inherent is rooted in us as love
I mean yesterday
I can not believe that this is true, but true, I do not fabricate this now
Yesterday, if it meant you guys
I looked directly at Ron Pena in his eyes and said: I love you, man!
I said 100% as my partner at work
I said it with all sincerity
She was one of those times when she would like to call her and remember the moment
But that’s strange!
I mean I do not usually do that
It is very interesting that it is out of the ordinary, so to speak
For example, at home with my wife it is very easy and I love the embodiment and feeling that love, it makes me feel great!
But I go to the office and there is something about the ocean that makes me feel strange
Yes, two points:
First, this is called showing your weaknesses is not it?
Showing your weaknesses does not mean crying
Means the ability to admit that you made a mistake
It means being prepared to say “I need help” without embarrassment
Means being able to express your feelings toward any person without fearing what others will think of you when you acknowledge it
Most people, especially those who do not work in an environment that gives them confidence or a strong institutional culture, do not want to show these weaknesses
Because it would be dangerous to show this thing
If you admit that you have made a mistake or do not know what you are doing or promoting, you do not have a clue or a clue about the job
Lying and deceiving and hiding facts is easier, is not it?
Not the fact that this is the most tense and eventually the results will be lost
It is not self-evident
But that’s what the strong environment means
Means that I can show your weaknesses
If the fact that you can say so loudly means that there is a loving environment that gives confidence and does not mind showing your weakness
Where someone does not say “Oh my God, this company will collapse! This man is crazy, he mumbles everywhere”
People do not think so
I mean there may be some people who think so of course
But in general, most do not think so
On the contrary people will say something like “Great!”
This will, therefore, inspire others to show their feelings and weaknesses in a relaxed way
Such as admitting a mistake
Or they spoiled it
Ask for help with all its usefulness
Or to convey that they would like to help someone else without fear of it too
Simon Sink sparked a spark in his best-selling novels like “Start Palma” and “The Last Leaders Who Eats”
In 2016 he published the book “Together Better,” which inspired many not to fear asking for help, helping others, and discovering their inner courage through a great story of change.
– Book link extension in description –
I have spoken about this and have stressed it so much
For example, if you are an alcoholic and have not mastered the step of helping others
Even if she overcame the disease, in fact, she did not overcome it completely
Yeah
And the extent to which it is equivalent to what it takes to become a successful leader
This requires that you take the lead in helping someone to be successful and adopt that trust
Yes, the example you mentioned is from the 12 step program
We are all making fun of the first step, which is recognition of the problem
But the most important step, step 12
If an alcoholic has mastered all 11 steps and has not mastered step 12, he is more likely to return to alcoholism again
But if the 12-step shrieks, he will probably overcome this disease
Step 12: Be committed to helping another addict
Is the service
This is really one of the most effective things in the world
And what is not about us, but what about others
I mean there is a full shelf in the offices entitled Self Development
But there is no shelf called the development of others or their help
The issue is not “How do I lose 10 pounds?”
Or “How do I find the work I love?”
Or “How do I find the love of my life?”
No no
It’s not “How do I lose ten pounds?” But “How can I help someone I care about living a healthy lifestyle?”
It is not “How do I find the work I love?” But “how can I help someone I care about to find maximum happiness at work?”
Is not “How do I find true love?” But “How can I help my friend to settle down and live the life he aspires to?”
Ironically, when we decide to help others in the problems we face ourselves
On the other hand, we will see our solutions
Yes, it’s amazing
And qi is very important to me
It is that strong human desire to communicate
But we neglect it and leave it at the door when entering the office
But at the same time we are making a lot of our time
You have said that one likes to do one’s own right and not something nice to happen
Yes, I believe that
I believe that one loves what works right and not privilege
I hate it, I am sorry for it, and I condemn the fact that very few people can say “I love my work” as if they won the lottery
Go out with your friends and say “love my job”
Everyone cheers to him, “My God, how lucky you are!” is not it?
This exchange of madness for me!
Everyone, everyone, must wake up daily and say “I love work”
It is the right of our rights
God has given us the right to love what we do
We must insist that our leaders provide us with the environment we love to go to
The place where we care about each other
Where we feel safe to express our feelings, fears and issues
Which are suitable for correcting, adjusting and tracing
Where we are not defensive because we are believers and know that all this comes from the door of development and development
We want to develop and build ourselves
In return we will help others in their construction and development
Because the moment we feel safe, when we feel that our leaders care about us and appreciate us, we are more than a number
They care about our lives, our confidence, our happiness and our skills more than a temporary interest
That they care about our priorities more than the priorities of an outsider
We will respond with all our blood and we will give the sweat of our brow and sacrifice our blood
We will make all kinds of sacrifices to see the progress and growth of our leaders’ visions and continue to flourish
Not for them, but for us
It becomes personal
It becomes something we like to contribute to
I talk about this all the time
Working hard for something you do not care about is called stress
Doing something you love is called passion
I was fed up with hearing CEOs chanting “We only employ the anxious”
They do not know the meaning of that at all!
How do you differentiate if they are interested in the interview or are they anxious to work?
Every man on earth has a passion
But we are not all interested in the same thing
Give me something I believe in
Give me something I believe in
Give me the opportunity to contribute to something
Allow me to make mistakes and try again
And will have a passion for the highest
But Noah, Noah has a passion for doing one of his works
He is tense in the other works of his works
the same person
the same person
Different leaders
