Why good leaders make you feel safe | Simon Sinek | TED 

I tip my cap to you sir

❣️❣️❣️ what a big heart you have sir

Example of a true servant 🙏🏽😇

A few questions for you. Why would the company decide after a few months you needed an increase? Why would you share a pay stub? If you made 100grand per year, 60 grand goes to employees. Large company would mean at least 50 employees. 30 employees would be a 1$ raise ...can't be the reason for 3 times increase in sales. Does this make sense? What else happened?

@@johncarlos7810 They had not been able to solve the problem in five years and I began to solve it in two hours. They offered me the pay raise. Sharing a pay stub called him on his skepticism. I said I wanted the pay raise to go to them but what I actually meant was for them to get a pay raise first. The company was paying out so much overtime that it was almost equal with their regular pay. They had about twice as many people as they needed for the sales they had. Once turned it around our profits increased over 10 times.There were many other things such as improving logistics. One of the employees began to plot the sales for each day. I would say the biggest thing was that they knew I cared about them and not just how much work they could do. There was an employee who came late sometimes. He came late one day and a customer was waiting for him. The employee was good with customers but his home life was not good and he came from a family in which several of his family were in jail. He had been late enough times that he could have been terminated and he knew that. When I spoke with him he brought that up and told me he deserved to be fired. I told him I had no intention of terminating him because he was a very good employee and all I wanted was for him to be on time so customers did not have to wait. He was never late again. He went on to do quite well and bettered himself a lot. I believe how I dealt with him at that moment was a huge turning point in his life. Later on he said he wanted to go to college and asked if he could continue to work there. I made it clear that I wanted him there and I also wanted him to do well as a person. The employees would wait at the end of the day to see how much we did in sales. In return both the employees and the company treated me well.

James Pinard can’t agree more 👍

James Pinard can’t take him seriously dressed like that

@@nathanswenson1887 Pretty superficial on your part. I don't think anyone will take you seriously then.

Noctiluka I’m not the one on stage trying to persuade people to my view of leadership. TED has become so vacuous it’s absurd.

@@nathanswenson1887 Appearance is not as important as action.

Do your thing champ

DID YOU START YOUR BUSINESS ? TIME IS NOW

@@davidduchesne dam hope he did

Have you done it, yet?

all the best man.

Not always true. I've fond myself among co workers and without realizing it have been called a leader.

If only ppl in leadership positions applied and understood it

A perfect leader is one who does not want to lead. Only he will not use his power for himself directly(though later on it will corrupt him and he will). A real leader has to be accountable and easily replaced.

@@MafiaFLairBeatz Well, a couple of US presidents have been that way, for example G Ford. They seem to usually be resented and despised by the so called "patriots".

Actually Leadership is a responsibility not a rank

Isn't it ridiculous that he got it practically perfect? On one try?

simon sinek

Josh Cordero actually, it's not that hard if you've done it a dozen..100 times

It's even more impressive considering his hand writing is illegible

Human Animal they say geniuses have bad hand writing

Simon, you are WRONG. Everyone DOES NOT have the same capacity as Capt. Swenson who kissed his soldier. I have seen men run from combat while leaving a comrade to his demise or civil perils in which a mother will sacrifice her child so she can live. It takes a courageous person to possess the type of empathy it takes to see life as Capt. Swenson does. Courage is a rare quality in men and women these days because we are a tremendously self-centered society, and what Capt. Swenson did was selfless, and courageous.

Notice he did not mention as all of need to happy equally. To reduce the pain is more important

🎉

Gonzalo Enrique... i loved his lectures! I think he understands the concept of "sacrifice for a greater good."💚

Ikr

He is one of the best speakers I have ever seen when in comes to rhetoric. The content is always very flat and obvious though... He is originally from a marketing company.

@@bingobongo1615 Yeah, he's very good at appealing to people's preconceptions..

He’s a self proclaimed idiot when it comes to complex ideas, but he’s doing something right.

Well, they dont want to admit bibilical values. Honestly, biblical values are showing up in secular leadership training all over the place now. Integrity, sacrifice, team, selflessness.....etc. I been hearing it for 20 years in church :)

Brian M true

Hii I am looking for job can you help mee

Darlene M. Scott - because they don’t know what leadership means or care

Agree your comment

v well said

you mean George R. R. Martin

@@user-nj7rw5my9h No he doesn't.

but I thought diversity is strength

My like was for your picture not your comment

@@HK_Musician lmao love your content man

@@HK_Musician lol

Always ♥️

Thank you random person on RU-vid Comment Section... I shall take this quote and use it!

Messi

Completely agree. The moment I realized my manager aka dept head was actually driving us close to insane by working us up to 15 hours/day incl weekends and also creating an environment where we are scared, I understood how fool I were to follow this person and believed in for the past 1,5 years. Where are leaders?

Project Stronger Self thanks for this!

Never commented before. But this comment can change my life tomorrow in my interview. Thanks. May Allah bless you.

MusaTV did you get the job?

Sami Kukic yeah I work at Apple now. 🤙🏽 I forgot to keep updated here. May you will have the job you love Sami!

Thank you.

I have 3 who are exactly the opposite of this.

@@codebrker24 You are in trouble. Have merry and stay prayed up.

@Juliana Valcarte, may I ask what kind of company you work for? Most companies I've worked for have had managers that are "Authorities" and not "Leaders" I would love to hear your opinion on a career or corporation with trust worthy managers

I don't work with these leaders.. But I hope to be one some day!

Cash you xx xx a😅 Ugg xx haah

that proves that you are a sheep who is easily manipulated

João Castro good one.

+Simon P McCullagh lol says the same person who drinks fluoride water with out thinking its toxic.

Stephenie Martinez are you on e's?

hahaha, I did the same!

still here in April.

Still here in april

Still here

trump should watch this

@@johnk5432 wouldn't make any difference. He's so full of himself that this message would go straight over his fake hair.

Greg B My thoughts while watching. A respected protector.

Greg B Or a good mother for us single mothers

Or a mother for that matter. Women can be leaders, you know. Besides gender and other form of identity, I equate being a leader as climbing Mount Everest or winning a marathon like the one in London, held every year in April.

that's because ted talks are anti thought.

care to elaborate?

João Castro What a genius you are.

TL;DR TROLOLOLOLOLOL

Ask yourself why that is impossible

@@John-wf5if No Johnny, you ask yourself that question. We form the world we live in. Don't be a cynic, be a Sinek. A cynic would try to shut up Dr. Martin Luther King. And would not given Nelson Mandela a chance. But we the people, we do sometimes. And our world gets the better for it.

​@@gardenjoy5223 Gentle reminder that the world just elected at 78 year old with cognitive decline, and a penchant for groping and sniffing young girls.

@@John-wf5if Oops. That seems to pose some problems indeed. But it Can happen. It happened before, that we had fine people to lead by authenticity.

@@John-wf5if His predecessor wasn't better

yes!

Yes #Pete2020 is a master of these ideas.

Didn't really get a chance to work in such environment. This all sound so good and nice....but never really got the chance to see them in my workplace. I prolly should start search around to see if there's an organization like this around my city that would take me.

Never found it yet in job market, but I can start it in my own family. It works !!!

This is so true that it's a shame that one really gets it only after being in a place like this. The next job hunting from anyone watching this video should be 100% focused on 1. understanding whether one is talking to such a company and 2. Getting into it

That's true but many leaders act like they are the company.. And when employees sense that you are all about self advancement, they may work for you, but they will not respect you or trust you

Agreed.

Karthik Kashyap I was thinking this the whole time lol

My same thoughts too!
