I agree with an ancient African proverb: “If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” And there are situations — usually when a crisis occurs — when we must go as far as we can as quickly as we can. I am among those who are convinced that even great leaders cannot motivate others but they can inspire others to be self-motivated. Simon Sinek wrote this book to inspire those who read it. As he explains in previously published book Start with Why, he believes that people must have a purpose-driven life, whatever that worthy purpose may be.All leaders have many responsibilities and one of them is to establish a workplace culture within which personal growth and professional development are most likely to thrive. He also believes that leaders have an obligation to help others to find their purpose. Here is the vision Sinek imagines: “to build a world in which the vast majority of us wake up every single morning inspired to go to work, feel safe when we’re there and return home fulfilled at the end of the day.”He discusses this vision in his TED Talk and, thus far, more than 28 million people have watched the video: "About three and a half years ago, I made a discovery. And this discovery profoundly changed my view on how I thought the world worked, and it even profoundly changed the way in which I operate in it. As it turns out, there's a pattern. As it turns out, all the great inspiring leaders and organizations in the world, whether it's Apple or Martin Luther King or the Wright brothers, they all think, act and communicate the exact same way. And it's the complete opposite to everyone else. All I did was codify it, and it's probably the world's simplest idea. I call it the golden circle.”How important are visions?
