[[Notes]] - Topics: [[Leadership]] - People: [[Simon Sinek]] - Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZTyvbmW92M --- ## Summary - [[300 Atomic/700 Dailies/03 Sections/Leadership/Leadership is a consistent and authentic demonstration of the care for others]]. - It is **actually caring** about others. - It isn't a single great thing you do. It is the [[100 little good things]] you do everyday that makes you great. - [[100 little good things done automatically, almost mechanically, but never forgetting the humanity behind it all]]. - Acts, big or small, that may not be immediately measurable, but is felt the moment it is absent ([[The impact of absence]]). - Do good everyday. **Be good everyday**. [[To do good everyday is to be good everyday]] - Never forget what matters. - Never forget others. Never forget yourself. ## Notes - "Do you love your wife? Prove it. What's the metric? Give me the number that helps me know." - "It's an impossible question. It's not that it doesn't exist. It's that it's much easier to prove over time" - Leadership is about the **transition**. - If you fundamentally believe in something, you stick to that regime. You can make mistakes. That's okay. as long as you don't quite d you know the goal you wish to accomplish. - It is a process. Some of the most **meaningful things** in your life **cannot** be measured by **metrics**. - **It is about consistency**. It isn't about intensity. [[The problem is that we treat leadership with intensity]]. - [[It is the daily practice of boring things that matter most]]. - Leadership is the accumulation of a lot of little things, where any one of those things by themselves is meaningless. It is consistency that gives them meaning. - It isn't one great thing you do. It is the 100 little good things you do everyday that makes it great. [[It's the little things]] - It is harder to consistently do those 100 little good things. You have to be **intentional** about it. To do it almost **mechanically**, but never forgetting the humanity behind it. (See [[A mechanical man. No longer a human being.]]) - **Test for leadership** - "If you ask someone how their day is going, and you **actually care about the answer**." - "In business, we have colleagues and coworkers. In the military, they have brothers and sisters." - You "fight, but the love doesn't go away". - Leadership is doing all the little things that, when added up, become so much more than the sum of their parts. ## Original ![[Leadership explain in five minutes.
