By Simon Sinek
"Empathy is a second by second, minute by minute service that we owe to everyone if we call ourselves a leader"
"Leadership is not a license to do less; It is a responsibility to do more. And that's the trouble. Leadership takes work. It takes time and energy. The effects are not always easily measured and they are not always immediate. Leadership is always a commitment to human beings."
I'm going to take copious notes from this book as it has much to remember.
There are places where Sinek has a tendency to rant. He has much criticism against the Boomers and their "Me first" stereo types and the damage this has done to government and industry
We need to feel safe at work. If we don't feel safe at work, then we spend too much of our time and energy defending ourselves against our coworkers. We need to focus our energy on our true competition.
Endorphin masks physical pain-- runners high. Laughing releases Endorphin. It's hard to laugh and be afraid at the same time.
Dopamine is a reward in anticipation of hitting a goal.
Serotonin is the feeling of pride. It makes us feel strong and confident. It is the feeling we get when we perceive that others like or respect us.
Oxytocin is the feeling we get when we do something nice for someone.
Our goals must be tangible
Lesson 1, As the culture goes, so goes the company.
Lesson 2, As the leader goes, so goes the culture.
Lesson 3, Integrity Matters.
Lesson 4, Friends Matter.
Lesson 5, Lead the People, no the numbers.
"Social media is a really easy way to feel excluded. Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat make me hyper-aware of the activities I wasn't invited to partake in and less involved in the activities that are actually in front of me."
"We must all be leaders. "Let us all be the leaders we wish we had."
1. Keep meetings free of cell phones
2. Encourage Notetaking on Paper instead of Computers.
3. Teach Leadership
4. Teach How to give and receive feedback.
5. Lead by Example
6. Talk about your failures.
7. Give your team opportunity to fall
8. Offer more opportunities to develop people skills
9 Help the love them selves.
10. Take a chance on them.
11. Your employees are the leaders of the future.
