How great leaders inspire action


Out of nowhere I remembered this fab TED talk by Simon Sinek where he talks how great leaders start from “Why”, but not from “What” and explores how leaders can inspire cooperation, trust and change. I strongly recommend going over the 18min talk that has 42M+ hits. If you like this, you may also want to read his classic  Start With Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action.

I also like the talk for the way it is presented and we can learn from it. When you are watching, keep an eye on:
  • How he uses the flip chart to explain the concept in simple terms
  • How he repeats the central point again and again
  • Subtle humor
  • Examples that everyone can relate to (Apple, Dr.MLK, Wright brothers etc.,)
  • Voice modulation

RamP!
