Leader, Inspire, True Value

FaceBook post by Simon Sinek from May 15, 2012

The true price of leadership is the willingness to place the needs of others above your own. Great leaders truly care about those they are privileged to lead and understand that the true cost of the leadership privilege comes at the expense of self-interest.

Self, Leader, Needs

Twitter post from Jan 10, 2011

For values or guiding principles to be truly effective they have to be verbs. It's not "integrity," it's "always do the right thing." It's not "innovation," it's "look at the problem from a different angle." Articulating our values as verbs gives us a clear idea - we have a clear idea of how to act in any situation.

Leadership, Integrity, Guiding Principles

Simon Sinek (2009). “Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action”, p.53, Penguin
