Listen "Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action by Simon Sinek"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we explore Simon Sinek’s influential book Start with Why and his powerful Golden Circle framework—Why, How, and What. We discuss how truly successful leaders and organisations begin by clarifying their core purpose or belief (the Why), which then drives their processes (How) and products (What). The conversation delves into the emotional power of purpose, its roots in the biology of decision-making, and how inspiration differs fundamentally from manipulation. We also examine the vital connection between leadership and trust, share practical ways to apply Sinek’s ideas, and consider some of the critiques surrounding the framework’s simplicity and application.DisclaimerThis podcast episode includes commentary and analysis based on Start with Why by Simon Sinek.
