Passion, Enthusiasm And Commitment
An 18-minute video exploring Simon Sinek’s view of how the most successful organisations think, act and communicate, referring to the ‘golden circle’ – the why, the how, and the what.
In his talk, Simon explains his theory that most organisations start with the outer circle of ‘what’, whereas the really inspired organisations start with the ‘why’ – the purpose, cause and beliefs.
Lencioni, P. (2002) The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. Jossey-Bass.
This book sets out Lencioni’s well known leadership theory in the form of a fable. Kathryn Peterson, Decision Tech’s CEO, faces the ultimate leadership crisis: uniting a team that is in such disarray that it threatens to bring down the entire company.
Lencioni’s riveting tale serves as a timeless reminder that leadership requires as much courage as it does insight. Throughout the story, Lencioni reveals the five dysfunctions that go to the very heart of why teams, even the best ones, often struggle. He outlines a powerful model and actionable steps that can be used to overcome these.
