I first learned about Simon Sinek from his famous TED talk, it is one of the most viewed TED videos of all times (viewed 6+ million times).
In this enlightening book, Sinek outlines how great leaders communicate in order to inspire everyone to take actions – they start with their WHY. From Martin Luther King, Jr. to Steve Jobs to the Wright Brothers, Start with Why shows that the leaders who inspire all think, act, and communicate in the exact same way – and it is completely opposite of what everyone else does. If you want to become an inspiring leader, a better communicator or an influencer, this book is GOLDEN!
