Quotes by Simon Sinek

“Leadership is not about being in charge. Leadership is about taking care of those in your charge.”

“The goal is not to be perfect by the end. The goal is to be better today.”

“A team is not a group of people that work together. A team is a group of people that trust each other.”

“Most people think leadership is about being in charge. Most people think leadership is about having all the answers and being the most intelligent person or the most qualified person in the room. The irony is that it is the complete opposite. Leadership is about empowering others to achieve things they did not think possible. Leadership is about pointing in the direction, articulating a vision of the world that does not yet exist. Then asking help from others to insure that vision happens.”

“Working hard for something we don't care about is called stress; working hard for somthing we love is called passion.”

“The ability for a group of people to do remarkable things hinges on how well those people can pull together as a team.”

“Authenticity is about imperfection. And authenticity is a very human quality. To be authentic is to be at peace with your imperfections. The great leaders are not the strongest, they are the ones who are honest about their weaknesses. The great leaders are not the smartest; they are the ones who admit how much they don't know. The great leaders can't do everything; they are the ones who look to others to help them. Great leaders don't see themselves as great; they see themselves as human.”

“Hearing is listening to what is said. Listening is hearing what isn't said.”

“Always plan for the fact that no plan ever goes according to plan.”
