Simon Sinek: How great leaders inspire action Video

http://www.ted.com Simon Sinek presents a simple but powerful model for how leaders inspire action, starting with a golden circle and the question "Why?" His examples include Apple, Martin Luther King, and the Wright brothers -- and as a counterpoint Tivo, which (until a recent court victory that tripled its stock price) appeared to be struggling.

Isn't it nice to see some attention-whore bragging about making a "discovery" that is actually common? sense?

And now imagine that someone diabolically evil would watch this? video and from that figured out how to take over the world by pretending to believe ... mu ha ha ha ha ... I mean, cool video :)

@ajnode He? doesn't ...
@ajnode He? doesn't cite from science. That is an old discredited theory from the 70s termed the Triune brain. At that point he is speaking pseudoscience.

I think this is ...
I think this is what is happening right now with the support behind Ron Paul. People are fed up with government as usual and his message has resonated with enough? people that it is spreading now like wildfire. Thanks to those who supported him in 2008 (the innovators), and those who have been supporting him this election cycle, we have now reached the Tipping Point.

@LocalDentalPro But ...
@LocalDentalPro But when a company wants to buy a product, they are being sold on the merchant/company, as much as the product/service. The company chooses "best", based on it's understanding of the solution, and it's trust in the abilities/motives of the provider. "we are dedicated to finding the simplest and most efficient ways of? expressing our code. This philosphy translates into easy-to-use, affordable and stable solutions."

@nothingbutfun ...
@nothingbutfun That's not what he said at all. He said the story of the wright bros' success was weird, not the idea of charity. The concept of? "donating" an invention "to the world", is kind of socialist for your average American. Not a dig, just a fact.

@Jrlmenezes Did you purposely? destroy your informative comment with a pointless dig and generalization of Americans? Why would you say that charity is "weird" to Americans. Very shortsighted and ignorant.

LOve it....Just got an awesome idea after? watching this video.

In terms of ...
In terms of believing inner motivations I prefer Santos Dumont ideology. Santos Dumont was the first to? fly a heavier then air equipment with public eyewitness 1906. The wright brothers were only interested in the money, in the patents. Santos Dumont wanted to fly! He donated his inventions to the world. But I guess this is a hard concept for americans, so they sell the weird success story of the wright brothers

"This is biology, ...
"This is biology, not psychology" then he cites? findings from neuroscience and neuropsychology?

this guy has? the coolest weirdest accent ever. Respect

Dig the video, it's ...
Dig the video, it's definitely inspiring. However, I think this applies a bit more in a b2c environment rather than b2b. Example: software. A company that needs to make a fairly large investment in software wants to buy from another company that sells it. I'm talking $50k? plus software solution. There's really only one thing on the companies mind: "Where can I get the best solution for the lowest price". In this example, the WHY doesn't matter. Only a solution that fits into the budget does.

i cant understand why this video only has a? little over half a million views...

His first analogy is pretty? bad, and is wrong.
