Book Description

Publication Date: 29 Oct 2009

Why are some people and organisations more inventive, pioneering and successful than others? And why are they able to repeat their success again and again?

In business, it doesn't matter what you do, it matters WHY you do it.

Start with Why analyses leaders like Martin Luther King Jr and Steve Jobs and discovers that they all think in the same way - they all started with why.

Simon Sinek explains the framework needed for businesses to move past knowing what they do to how they do it, and then to ask the more important question-WHY?

Why do we do what we do? Why do we exist? Learning to ask these questions can unlock the secret to inspirational business. Sinek explains what it truly takes to lead and inspire and how anyone can learn how to do it.

One of the most useful and powerful books I have read in years. Simple and elegant, it shows us how leaders should lead (William Ury, Co-Author Of Getting To Yes )

A powerful and penetrating exploration of what separates great companies and great leaders from the rest (Polly Labarre, Co-Author Of Mavericks At Work ) --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

2.0 out of 5 stars Repetitive 17 July 2012
By Mr. F. Costello
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The overall concept of the book is great, however the book is extremely repetitive. It's ironic that the author didn't take his own advice and structure his book in a Why, How, What story arch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such clarity... 31 Jan 2011
By Mme Anna Cook
Format:Hardcover
Excellent book, written with such clarity and ease of understanding. I am very pleased with my decision to buy this book. Well worth it, really helpful. I would definitely recommend it for new business start ups as much as for seasoned executives who want to improve their (and their company)image, stay true to their beliefs and share with their customers as opposed to just hard-selling to them. Very interesting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring book 4 July 2010
By Marco Lucisano
Format:Hardcover
I saw the ted-talk by Simon Sinek and wanted to read more about his ideas. This book is easy to read and gives some interesting insights on how to communicate.

I have tested it at work and it works. I gave a talk at a conference recently and people congratulated me on the clarity of my presentation. Really, what I did was to start with why.

More interesting to me, I think that this book provided the secret of how one specific person I know (a genious in communication) actually behaves when he enters the stage.
