About Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action by Simon Sinek

 

The bestseller Start With Why shows us how the world's greatest leaders have been able to have such powerful and widespread influence. These leaders have one thing in common, and one thing that distinguishes them from everyone else. That one thing is the way they think about their purpose and how they communicate that purpose. Sinek calls this framework The Golden Circle. It is how powerful organizations are built and movements begun, and it all starts with Why.
