"When everything goes right, you have to give away all the credit, but when everything goes wrong, you have to take all the responsibility" - Simon Sinek
hazel aguilar honestly, watching the people under u get the credit feels way better than receiving the credit..if u lead them right..it feels way better..i know this cz i’ve been doing for years..only like 5months ago i watched simon sinek speak i realised it
It’s amazing how easy it is to listen to his messages and how un complicated he sounds to the listener. I would be very curious to his thoughts on economic policy...
I'm an old retired middle level manager, and we never heard this type of motivational speeches before about how to manage. Every time Simon opens his mouth I am amazed, because he speaks to Perspective and Empathy and the need for Altruistic leaders as a way for businesses to sustain their forward movement and to treat their most important assets, their employees, as if they matter. If you can please pass this one to everyone on your mailing list. Businesses need to hear this more than they need profits in the short term.
That is why I took my old self out of retirement to join the Conscious Capitalism Movement. I was the oldest person in the first class of consultants, and now am on fire to help bring humanity to business. Heck, Michaelangelo was 71 when he became the architect and engineer for St. Peter's. I can help the movement. @rumplestiltskin Come out and work with us.
Wow. It is so refreshing to hear the words empathy, long term, no winning and losing, mass layoffs. I thought we have lost them all. Thanks Simon you just stirred every soul. Love you
I'm not a businessman. I'm a teacher, but I believe what he said doesn't apply to only business. I want to make an environment where my students feel comfortable and willing to find their potentials. And this is what my principal should watch. When everything goes well, she doesn't appreciate our efforts, but she only criticizes us when something bad happens.
Hey my heart goes out to your response here. I hope this message finds you well but I am a motivational speaker and some of the issues that you mentioned here is what I help solve with students, teachers, and administration. I have had the privelege to travel the country living out this purpose. Would you mind hopping offline and speaking more in depth about some of these issues on a deeper level?
One of the best speech I've ever heard. I made my Bachelor degree's thesis based on Emotional Intelligence, and I wish I could watch this video to make everything easier.
Emotional intelligence is a made-up term. There have been a lot of papers written about it however it amounts to nothing more than "agreeableness" the term emotional intelligence was coined by some journalist. What does it mean anyway? That I can infer what you're thinking or feeling. Maybe I know exactly what you're thinking and feeling and just don't give two shits. How do you differentiate emotional intelligence from empathy or sympathy? By the way it turns out that people who lack agreeableness and are disagreeable are the ones that succeed in the workplace. Not the other way around. Don't feed into the hype. I know they teach this in schools but schools are often wrong this is one case of many. I do hope you got your bachelor's degree and a good score on your thesis. I wish you well. Life itself is a classroom you can learn everywhere.
2nd time I've watched this and still got goosebumps. I will be sharing this with my business school students. Thank you for showing that there is and needs to be another way.
Wow, now I know why I couldn't get results in the finite game. I was playing an infinite game in a finite environment and I could get myself well understood. Thanks for this insight. It is enormously helpful. I feel you ant to help people and you succeeded today.
This speech is amazing. I'm actually reading a book on empathy and also writing an essay on it. This speech will help me with my thesis that will look something like this: Empathy is overlooked in today's society and needs to be understood so today's leaders can help build better future leaders.
Kevin Flanagan do you want to share your essay on empathy , I would want to read . Also if you could share books or material you have read on the topic. Thanks in advance. Cheers
Simon thrills me every time. I'm sending this to the CEO of my company. What he's saying is a no-brainer to a deep thinker. But since we are mostly shallow thinkers, this piece of wisdom will constantly be overlooked in our organizations.
Empathy is an important and valuable trait indeed. When we express empathy towards others, we feel better about ourselves as well as the person receiving it. Sadly, in this world where we have to first and foremost care about ourselves, we can only show empathy at certain moments in our lives. To forget ourselves and to give to other's is very honorable, but serves no meaning unless we can fully take care of ourselves and do what is best for ourselves :)
Wow... I have said these things about parenting and management vs leadership to my friends so many times ... It is amazing to hear someone else articulate the same ideas. I'm so glad to know that people are listening to Simon Sinek, because it's just common sense.
Empathy is both "otherness" as well as "everydayness." It needs to sit not only in our skill set, but also in our value set to be authentic and often. Thanks Simon for articulating is so well.
Just for discussion: what's your view on being bullied because of acting empathetic (or "nice")? also are there individuals who are simply not motivated no matter what?
I am not business minded whatsoever, but I work with youth and love analyzing human behavior. Simon Sinek has made my life so much simpler and more enjoyable. Love this guy.
So true. It’s far less about homogenising staff and more about recognising, utilising then celebrating people’s individual strengths and achievements. Sadly, too many directors focus on humiliating staff in order to make themselves feel important - not conducive to a healthy environment. When things go wrong we’re supposed to focus on areas of improvement rather than berating staff for their mistakes.
Love this and I truly thing leaders struggle to apply this, some understand, but the practical application remains elusive for some, this feels like it provides people with the insight on to what the application could look like, thank you, Simon
Good to revisit this guy's episode which I saw when it came out. We all need a good reminder on this one vital human quality that is hard to retain without reminding yourself from time to time.
This world is becoming more and more void of empathy and compassion, it is a sad and bitter development. For those who still posses this gift I ask to share your story with me and the rest of the world: Good or bad, pain or joy. I am looking forward to your reaction. Thank you.
A must watch video for all, particularly young managers and leaders. I feel it is important to get the perspective right from the beginning of one's career.
Great video but that Finite Vs Infinite REALLY hit home. It has me sitting here thinking about my relationship & past relationships for some reason. I LOVE that part of the video the BEST! Thank you for this.
This is a brilliant talk. We focus so often on the "ideal" result in business, on an extremely irrational timetable, that we forget that both time and, _more importantly_, emotionally invested *people* lay the foundation for the ideal. A slow quarter or year doesn't spell permanent loss for shareholders. The greatest businesses that exist today *ALL* started before they IPOed. Passion drives success and nothing is less passion-motivating than rigid performance metrics, disconnected or metric-based management, or a cultural fear of failure.
I like this guy! I don't know exactly why. But his humility, his trying to do himself out of a job, well, it's just inspirational, because that's kinda the kind of person I wannabe and to see him succeed like this is just plain old tear jerking!
“A good parent is always striving to do himself out of a job.” As a parent of 4 and a retired teacher, I use Sams theories of leadership/guidance and find them to be true.”Guide on the side not sage on the stage.” Empathy.
This is a beautiful and vivid introduction to Empathy, for people who lack empathy, and want to learn to be more effective leaders. I think it is important to talk about the 'shadow side' of empathy. It is possible to experience other people's feelings so vividly, that you 'take on' and even get totally lost in them. Unconsciously, I believe this is why our general culture has numbed out empathy - people are afraid of each other. For those of us who are waking up increasingly subtle and powerful empathic awareness, this is a very real and concerns. I believe people are avoiding being more empathic, not just because we haven't been taught how to empathize, but because we haven't practiced how to empathizer AND THEN LET GO and stay centered within YOU. For me, Compassion is the element that breaks through the confusion. Genuine compassion is never patronizing. Yet compassion also creates healthy distance - it helps us remember who's feelings these are originally in a way that takes the fear out of being close to suffering.

I wish more companies would model what Simon is saying. I know so many people who have sacrificed their health and families for their jobs and the companies expect it if not more. Wake up senior leadership!
Thank you, sir, Today lecture I learn how to play for success and compare yourself to yourself not others and I think that's the formula of success. Thanks and love you, sir.
Excellent Simon Sinek, as expressive, as right as always. Excellent!! Leaders, responsible for those in charge. it's a beautiful job, it's about the people.
Who are those 290 dislikes? Seriously what is wrong with people 😡? Do you hear eye-opening leadership advice for your company every day? There isn't a single downside about the things he says. If everyone feels more secure and fulfilled in their work environment they are more happy. If they are happier they are doing their job better and are more friendly to the customers. Satisfied and happy customers means more job for the company itself 😊. There are so many aspects in life that depend on how we are treated and how we treat others.
For the rest of human beings, emapthy can be shown this way as what Sinek says. With exceptions, showing empathy to narcissists directly by doing or saying good things to them, could fuel their ego, and they are prone to abuse their victims
As a single mother raising a son in New York, I was laid off right before Christmas more than once. The ones that stand out are the time a money manager laid me off because his annual returns were shitty and he decided to bring in an arbitrage trader to boost them, so my little salary was needed to pay for trades. The other was because two women who had more influence over the president of the company decided they didn't like, pure mean girls sh*t and I was "let go because things aren't working out". They had to hire three people to replace me to do the same work.
Agree. People in this world need more empathy, mercy and compassion and forgiveness. And Love one another + Start within your family and spread out to the world.
All leaders need to have empathy and Simon Sinek is exemplary at explaining empathy. Empathy is about embracing everyone and especially embracing peoples' differences.
So, a Christian message ... love your neighbor and serve him/her. It's too bad this seems to be such a revelation to so many. Either way, Nice job Simon!!!
Building relationships is important from day 1. I think all new hires, regardless of age should be prepared for their first few weeks and should be especially gregarious and curious. There is a lot to be said about demonstarting your personal work ethic and character within the first few weeks / months. First impressions matter.
I must say, you've got an insight here few people get. I also must say, that I'm surprised you were the one who got it. There might be hope for you yet. Keep it up.

hazel aguilar honestly, watching the people under u get the credit feels way better than receiving the credit..if u lead them right..it feels way better..i know this cz i’ve been doing for years..only like 5months ago i watched simon sinek speak i realised it
I love this guy, his clarity of thought is amazing
He’s such a tool.
Best in leadership bar none
Golden Bull what are YOUR thoughts?
It’s amazing how easy it is to listen to his messages and how un complicated he sounds to the listener. I would be very curious to his thoughts on economic policy...
I felt the same way but couldn't put it into words ... Thanks for helping me
This should be common sense. My father ran his business successfully for 47 years based on empathy. He understood leadership. It works.
And…. As you know, common sense is longer common. Empathy even less
Looking back I think my grandfather did to
What was your father's business?
Sounds awesome 👌
It should have been a common sense but oh boy, the kind of leaders we all live today.
I have no words for how great this speech is. Everyone needs to watch this, especially CEO’s & managers.

wow,
Everyone can evolve. Sometimes they just need to know what the alternative path is.
Simon is one of my favorite public speakers, he is always humble yet profound
Inspiring speaker and concepts. You can feel his emotional tones and passion in his speech.
This is one of the best speeches I've ever watched.
4630 WHAT???
Indeed...
me too mate
Every speech video featuring Simon Sinek is to me
Simon is simply one of the best speakers in our time.
One of the best speech I've ever heard. I made my Bachelor degree's thesis based on Emotional Intelligence, and I wish I could watch this video to make everything easier.

This speech is amazing. I'm actually reading a book on empathy and also writing an essay on it. This speech will help me with my thesis that will look something like this: Empathy is overlooked in today's society and needs to be understood so today's leaders can help build better future leaders.
Vansh Kapil i will tell you that I read Age of empathy by frans de waal
Kevin Flanagan do you want to share your essay on empathy , I would want to read . Also if you could share books or material you have read on the topic. Thanks in advance. Cheers
one of the best speeches relating to work environment Leadership. More of Corporate America should hear this. Because there is such a lack of empathy.
Once again Simon Sinek nails it! Thanks for sharing.
Simon thrills me every time. I'm sending this to the CEO of my company. What he's saying is a no-brainer to a deep thinker. But since we are mostly shallow thinkers, this piece of wisdom will constantly be overlooked in our organizations.
Great idea!
I’m dealing with same situation at work, it speaks to my heart. 💕Thanks Simon, what a demonstration of leadership.
Empathy is an important and valuable trait indeed. When we express empathy towards others, we feel better about ourselves as well as the person receiving it.

Empathy is both "otherness" as well as "everydayness." It needs to sit not only in our skill set, but also in our value set to be authentic and often. Thanks Simon for articulating is so well.
Love his message every time.
Simon you are so great it’s a pleasure listening to you again and again to grasp what you really want to say...!🥀🥀🥀
I could listen to him all day!!
Just for discussion: what's your view on being bullied because of acting empathetic (or "nice")? also are there individuals who are simply not motivated no matter what?
I am not business minded whatsoever, but I work with youth and love analyzing human behavior. Simon Sinek has made my life so much simpler and more enjoyable. Love this guy.

Brilliant speaker with great content! Sooo inspiring!
Simon; speaks the truth we think inside our own head but don’t verbalize to others for some reason. Keep pushing forward
This guy is truly amazing!

A must watch video for all, particularly young managers and leaders. I feel it is important to get the perspective right from the beginning of one's career.
Simon sinek is a great thought leader. I love his observation that managers micro manage because they know how to do it better
Great video but that Finite Vs Infinite REALLY hit home. It has me sitting here thinking about my relationship & past relationships for some reason. I LOVE that part of the video the BEST! Thank you for this.
I love the way this guy articulates. The tonality and use of hands is perfect
Real motivator....always acts like a leader.
excellent speech and very heartfelt.
Thank you for sharing this post. It's time for more smart and heartbased leadership, worldwide, on all levels and all areas of life💫🕊💝🙏🏼💝🕊💫
I know why Simon is so popular. He speaks something people want to hear instead of leaders want to hear. What a strategy !
I agree every point Simon Sir said in this video and can relate with every point said . Thank You for a great Video :)
beautifully conveyed the message!!
This is a brilliant talk.

Hilarious! 'You got a C in school, you're up for Adoption!" Lmao
That made me snort laugh out loud!☺️
I Love learning with humor.👍
I like this guy! I don't know exactly why. But his humility, his trying to do himself out of a job, well, it's just inspirational, because that's kinda the kind of person I wannabe and to see him succeed like this is just plain old tear jerking!
“A good parent is always striving to do himself out of a job.” As a parent of 4 and a retired teacher, I use Sams theories of leadership/guidance and find them to be true.”Guide on the side not sage on the stage.” Empathy.
This will be good to listen to from time to time.
This guys connection to the world, and people; seems light years ahead of any “leader” I have ever known
Wow. Thank you sir. I watched this few times to understand the message and now I got it. This is amazing.....
Simon, you‘re just great! Love your speeches...

Absolutely love this guy!
Most excellent speech Ive ever heard
Wow!! This speech is amazing.
Best ever talk on leadership... Amazing guy...
Inspiring talk. Sinek your words are magical
Amazing talk!!! I listened to it omw home from work and shared it with my boss.
I am flabbergasted…. This is so true!! And it hurt me so much, i cant explain it, I wish I could but I would need 100k+ words or more
"Empathy is being concerned about the human being not just their output"
Thank you, sir, Today lecture I learn how to play for success and compare yourself to yourself not others and I think that's the formula of success. Thanks and love you, sir.
Excellent Simon Sinek, as expressive, as right as always. Excellent!! Leaders, responsible for those in charge. it's a beautiful job, it's about the people.
Wow, just discovered this guy. He's amazing. The best I've read or heard since "The World is Flat"...
This is amazing, take the time to watch this, you can use it in all aspects of your life
Who are those 290 dislikes? Seriously what is wrong with people 😡? Do you hear eye-opening leadership advice for your company every day?
There isn't a single downside about the things he says. If everyone feels more secure and fulfilled in their work environment they are more happy.

Awesome Learning for self. Thank you Simon Sinek. I could relate to the example of Apple as I read your book "Start with Why"
For the rest of human beings, emapthy can be shown this way as what Sinek says. With exceptions, showing empathy to narcissists directly by doing or saying good things to them, could fuel their ego, and they are prone to abuse their victims
Always fabulous. And nowadays, it is so actual.
As a single mother raising a son in New York, I was laid off right before Christmas more than once.

*Mind blowing hats off sir, I love you and I love 7.3 billion people of this earth.*
Love this, thanks for sharing your insight!
Should be compulsory viewing on every MBA, Business Degree, even High School curriculum, globally.
Got that right showed this to my 10 year old cousins.
Literally did right now
All leaders need to have empathy and Simon Sinek is exemplary at explaining empathy. Empathy is about embracing everyone and especially embracing peoples' differences.
Amazing video and content from Simon. Thoughtful points.
So, a Christian message ... love your neighbor and serve him/her. It's too bad this seems to be such a revelation to so many. Either way, Nice job Simon!!!
Just amazing ! Thanks for the great insights.
I wish every company's leadership understood these concepts.
Simon Sinek is underrated
amazing speech! Nobody wins, so so true!
Using someone's livelihood to balance the books …… that says so much in so few words.
Simon Sinek is brilliant.
Great talk! I love his perspective and I firmly believe it is right.
Wow what a motivation speech
Building relationships is important from day 1. I think all new hires, regardless of age should be prepared for their first few weeks and should be especially gregarious and curious. There is a lot to be said about demonstarting your personal work ethic and character within the first few weeks / months. First impressions matter.
I know his signature talk is “start with why” but this is my favorite of his talks😫😍
Thanks Simon great speech!
I must say, you've got an insight here few people get. I also must say, that I'm surprised you were the one who got it. There might be hope for you yet. Keep it up.
This guy is great
Amazing speech, like it.
one of the best speaker on the planet
I would love to see a Simon Sinek and Brene Brown collab!
Simon Sinek 's speech is really ispiring
Fantastic speech...😍
Best 20 min speech by Simon Sinek
