No matter when or where, always bring your 'A' game, because you never know when it will open doors for you.

During World War II, the pilot losses were staggering. In some bombing raids, as many as 80% of the planes that left did not return.

When I was in college, my school newspaper accepted an ad from a Holocaust revisionist organization. This would have been offensive on most college campuses across the country, but I went to a school with a very large Jewish population, so the ad, as you might expect, stirred absolute outrage.

Simon Sinek

The ad industry thinks their clients are their customers. They think the companies who pay for the production are the ones they are supposed to serve. So the ads they produce make their clients happy... but infuriate the rest of us.

Pilots, to a large degree, are like salesmen. They have to be confident to be good at their jobs. They have to practice relentlessly and plan out all the scenarios of the things that could happen when they're out there. Nothing is more important than preparation. They are also mighty competitive, both as individuals and as squadrons.

Simon Sinek

I couldn't understand why my productivity went down when I had deliberately made more time available to write. Then I realized it was because I wasn't flying as much.

Like a good parent can't also be his child's best friend, a leader with authority requires some separation from subordinates.

Simon Sinek

Actions speak louder than words. All companies say they care, right? But few actually exercise that care.

Simon Sinek

The goal is not to do business with everybody who needs what you have. The goal is to do business with people who believe what you believe.

Simon Sinek

There is no decision that we can make that doesn't come with some sort of balance or sacrifice.

Simon Sinek

The only time I waste is time I spend doing something that, in my gut, I know I shouldn't. If I choose to spend time playing video games or sleeping in, then it's time well spent, because I chose to do it. I did it for a reason - to relax, to decompress or to feel good, and that was what I wanted to do.

Simon Sinek

Any parent who tells their kids that they can't attend a school play or go to a soccer match because they have to work is kidding themselves. It's OK to miss a game or two or a performance here and there, but it's not all right to miss the majority of them.

Simon Sinek

The big picture doesn't just come from distance; it also comes from time.

Simon Sinek

Though we may have desires or bold goals, for whatever reason, most of us don't think we can achieve something beyond what we're qualified to achieve. Why, I ask, do we let reality interfere with our dreams?

Simon Sinek

It's important to slow down, every now and then, for no other reason than to call someone to say 'Hi.' It doesn't have to be a long conversation. Just calling out of the blue does more to let someone know you still care about them than nearly anything else.

Simon Sinek

A leader's job is not to do the work for others, it's to help others figure out how to do it themselves, to get things done, and to succeed beyond what they thought possible.

Simon Sinek

Directions are instructions given to explain how. Direction is a vision offered to explain why.

Simon Sinek

There are two types of claims: those based on hard numbers and those based on slippery numbers.

Simon Sinek

When you explain to people what you're trying to do, as opposed to just making demands or delegating tasks, you can build instant trust, even if it's just for that short time you're on the phone.

Simon Sinek

When we can communicate from the inside out, we're talking directly to the part of the brain that controls behavior, and then we allow people to rationalize it with the tangible things we say and do. This is where gut decisions come from.

Simon Sinek

Some people are born good-looking. Some have the gift of gab. And some are lucky enough to be born smarter than the rest of us. Whether we like it or not, Mother Nature does not dole these characteristics out evenly.

Simon Sinek

I have been inspired by Martin Luther King and how he inspired a movement. I have learned that a cause must be organic; if it is to have an impact it must belong to those who join the movement and not those who lead it.

Simon Sinek

I find, when you're an optimist, life has a funny way of looking after you.

Simon Sinek

Whether individuals or organisations, we follow those who lead not because we have to, but because we want to. We follow those who lead not for them, but for ourselves.

Simon Sinek

We live in times of high stress. Messages that are simple, messages that are inspiring, messages that are life-affirming, are a welcome break from our real lives.

Simon Sinek

A sour corporate culture can actually make an entire society unhappy. This means that a strong corporate culture can have a positive impact on a society.

Simon Sinek

The trick to balance is to not make sacrificing important things become the norm.

Simon Sinek

I never imagined working with CEOs, congressmen or the military, yet I make regular visits to the Pentagon, stop by the Capitol now and then and sit down with leaders of all kinds of companies.

Simon Sinek

I have friends who are majorly into the cosplay culture and have urged me to go to a convention for no other reason than to meet others like me.

Simon Sinek

It is only from the people I've had the good fortune to meet that I am learning the lessons to guide me. Baz Luhrmann, director of 'Moulin Rouge,' for example, has a childlike curiosity about the world. He doesn't pretend to know all the answers - quite the opposite, in fact. He asks loads of questions of everyone.

Simon Sinek

Most politicians are not authentic.

Simon Sinek

Though there are lessons that can be learned about becoming a great leader, most exist inherently in the bellies of those who lead.

Simon Sinek

The strong bond of friendship is not always a balanced equation; friendship is not always about giving and taking in equal shares. Instead, friendship is grounded in a feeling that you know exactly who will be there for you when you need something, no matter what or when.

Simon Sinek

I use Apple because they're easy to understand and everybody gets it.

Simon Sinek

I try to find, celebrate and teach leaders how to build platforms that will inspire others.
