Discussion about "How Great Leaders Inspire Action" Video by Simon Sinek

Quotation:

     "All leaders think, act, and communicate the exact same way, and it's the exact opposite of everyone else."

     "There are leaders, and there are those who lead.  Leaders hold a position of power or authority.  But those who lead inspire us.  Where they're individuals or organizations, we follow those who lead no because we have to, but because we want to.  We follow those who lead not for them but for ourselves.  It's those who start with "why" that have the ability to inspire those around them or find others who inspire them."

Question:

     Why don't more leaders act from the "inside out" if it is proven to work better?

Talking Points:

• Inspired leaders act from the inside out.
• People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it.
• If you talk about what you believe, you will attract those who believe what you believe.
• The majority won't try something until someone else has tried it first.
• Doing something to get recognition is not the right reason.
• Lead with your "why" because it is truly what you believe.
• We follow those who lead.
