    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.
    The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less).

    "People buy things that prove what they believe"... that was mind blowing. Even though it explains how to attract consumers, it also reveals answers to human behavior in other aspects of life . E.g. what a person believes about themselves and how they "buy" into ideals to "prove" their stance on it

    When Simon Sinek made the statement, "Great leaders think, act, and communicate the same way and it is completely backwards from everyone else," he did a fantastic job at both setting up the stage for his platform as well as genuinely grabbing my attention because from that point forward I was invested in his explanation to that statement. The Golden Circle model he created in regards to What, How, and Why is an excellent visual tool that simplified his explanation of how these inspired leaders think from the inside out versus how everyone else thinks from the outside in. I particularly liked how he linked his model to the layers in the human brain and how the outside part of the brain deals with language and the ability to understand figures and facts but the real accomplishment is speaking to the inside part of the brain that drives behavior and where decision-making originates. That is the part of the brain that the inspired leaders talk to and get you to believe in what they believe and create a sense of trust and loyalty as opposed to throwing facts and numbers at you.

    A hypnotic speech. He knows when he should stop, wait and talk again. Words are so clear you can even count. Voice tone is up and down to emphasize the words. That should be the way how a person gives a speech.

    This was eye opening. For the longest time I saw what other people do and saw what I waned to to do first and chased that with no avail. Looking back I have realized that I should come up with my own ‘why’ and do the things that fulfill that. Come up with a clear why than make a plan to achieve that propose.

    Simon is an amazing speaker. I enjoyed how he correlated the major components of the brain with the inside-out approach of the "golden circle." The traditional approach that works from the outside does not drive behavior. To inspire people to adopt a new idea, you must talk about what you believe and why. When people believe what you believe, they will support your cause.

    I keep coming back to this video every few years and am still shocked at how little of it has been reflected in the minds of our leaders in recent years.
    It is up to us to do this ourselves! Over and over again - just hoping that something changes! changes nothing!
    As other wise people have said: Change starts with each individual - immediately! The most difficult thing is to believe - the first step is the most important! and the 2 most difficult - to accept the fact, to accept, that after the first step a second and third and many more will follow and that one also sometimes takes the wrong way, recognizes this and learns - that it is not bad to take another way! Bad is - to stand still!

    1. If you talk about what you believe, you will attract those who believe what you believe.
    2. They buy why you do it. What you do simply proves what you believe.
    3. People will do the things that prove what they believe.
    4. People who believed what he believed took his cause, and they made it their own, and they told people.
    5. Leaders are those who inspire us.
    6. Not until all the laws that are made by men are consistent with the laws made by the higher authority will we live in a just world.
