We are more likely to follow leaders who vocalise a belief that also rings true for us. Simon Sinek introduces us to the Golden Circle that gives us another way to look at what makes us willingly follow a leader, or buy particular brand or join a certain movement. At the centre of that circle is purpose.
It’s useful not only in marketing, or visionary style leadership, but also to anyone operating with a purpose that drives them, the key message being – don’t let your purpose be your best kept secret!

Waiting for the train I notice two still-smoking cigarette butts on the grass bank, the previous mid-fourties owners nearby chatting away. I found myself with an internal disconnect – how hard is it to join the dots between personal actions and the bigger picture.

Jeff outlines how already having a good job doesn’t mean you shouldn’t ditch it and give your ideas a good run … he left what sounds like a GREAT job and set up Amazon. I often encounter the ‘comfort-zone’ dilemma when I’m coaching … people with great ideas, but why on earth would they create change when what they already do provides so well for them financially… then they remembered why they hired a coach, because $ doesn’t = happiness, satisfy ambition and quieten curiosity.

As a leader, if you want people to follow you, inspire them with a compelling vision, affirm the importance of their roles in achieving success, and then give them the resources they need to innovate and make the vision a reality … they will find the way!

“I’m not interested in the debate about I.Q., about whether some groups have higher I.Q.s that other groups. It’s completely irrelevant. What’s relevant to a society is how well people are communicating their ideas, and how well they’re cooperating, not how clever their individuals are. So we’ve created something called the collective brain. We’re just the nodes in the network. We’re the neurons in this brain. It’s the interchange of ideas, the meeting and mating of ideas between them, that is causing technological progress, incrementally, bit by bit.” Matt Ridley

We didn’t exit the Stone Age because we ran out of stones, we progressed because someone saw room for improvement, had a great idea, chose to lead the change and took action …. and so came the Bronze Age!

FROM TED: In his typically candid style, Richard St. John reminds us that success is not a one-way street, but a constant journey. He uses the story of his business’ rise and fall to illustrate a valuable lesson — when we stop trying, we fail.
