Start with Why - Simon Sinek

Simon Sinek encourages starting with purpose before describing activities or products. Start with Why presents an English-language framework for leadership and alignment between beliefs, actions and communication.

Why read Start with Why? The book shifts discussion from describing activities towards what gives them direction. This question can reveal gaps between stated beliefs and everyday decisions. What is the Golden Circle? Simon Sinek distinguishes why, how and what. Examples involving leaders and organisations illustrate purpose in trust and commitment. Who is this English-language book for? It suits team leaders, entrepreneurs and students. The framework can structure discussion of a mission while recognising that purpose alone does not ensure effective execution.
