DESCRIPTION:
Those who start with why never manipulate, they inspire. Their natural ability to start with why enabled them to inspire those around them and to achieve remarkable things. And people follow them not because they have to; they follow because they want to. Why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their successes over and over? People like Martin Luther King, Jr.; Steve Jobs; and the Wright Brothers might have little in common, but they all started with why. In studying the leaders who've had the greatest influence in the world, Simon Sinek discovered that they all think, act, and communicate in the exact same way - and it's the complete opposite of what everyone else does. And it all starts with why. Why is not money or profit - those are always results. Any organization can explain what it does; some can explain how they do it; but very few can clearly articulate why.

"At once a brilliant must-read and painfully redundant" according to Morphenius. I really had to struggle with what rating to give this. Simon Sinek's idea is astoundingly insightful, very helpful, and definitely worth the price of this book let alone the Kindle price. I'm inclined to think that the world would be considerably better off if more people lived by Sinek's simple idea.On the other hand, the book is agonizing in its redundancy, often repeating the same examples many times over to make precisely the same point as the f. Not worth one's time Ameripen I read a lot. At least a few hours a day. This book was awful.Let's start with why. Sinek is an awfully repetitive and, frankly, unskilled writer. He lays out his thesis and then repeats it like a rower repeats his stroke. As he drags out the book to whatever number of words he needed to fulfill book contract, he re/illustrates his thesis with different examples. This would have made the book slightly more tolerable, except the examples are so ordina
