The Golden Circle
What
Every organization on the planet
knows WHAT they do. These are
products they sell or the services
they offer.
How
Some organizations
know HOW they do it. These
are the things that make
them special or set them
apart from their competition.
Why
Very few organizations know WHY
they do what they do. WHY is not
about making money. That’s a result.
It’s a purpose, cause or belief. It’s the
very reason your organization exists.
Simon Sinek discusses
the principal behind
every successful person
and business. A simple
but powerful model for
how leaders inspire
action, starting with a
"Golden Circle" and the
question "Why? “
"First why and then
trust."
- Simon Sinek
“People don’t buy
“what” you do,

you do it.”

“If you hire people just
because they can do a
job, they’ll work for your
money. But if you hire
people who believe what
you believe, they’ll work
for you with blood and
sweat and tears.”

organization or group
with the ability to inspire
starts with a person or
small group of people
who were inspired to do
something bigger than
themselves.”

“It’s not just WHAT or
HOW you do things
that matters; what
matters more is that
WHAT and HOW you do
things is consistent
with your WHY.”

“We're not good at
everything, we're not
good by ourselves. Our
ability to build trust
and relationships is the
key to our survival as a
race, and to thriving as
idea makers.”
- Simon SinekInfographic published by Neil Beyersdorf

“Words may inspire,
but only action creates
change. Most of us live
our lives by accident we
live life as it happens.
Fulfillment comes when
we live our lives on
purpose.”
- Simon SinekInfographic published by Neil Beyersdorf

“Great companies
don't hire skilled
people and motivate
them, they hire
already motivated
people and inspire
them.”
- Simon SinekInfographic published by Neil Beyersdorf

“For great leaders, The
Golden Circle is in
balance. They are in
pursuit of WHY, they hold
themselves accountable
to HOW they do it and
WHAT they do serves as
the tangible proof of
what they believe.”
- Simon SinekInfographic published by Neil Beyersdorf
linkedin.com/in/neilbeyersdorf
“If the leader of the
organization can’t clearly
articulate WHY the
organization exists in
terms beyond its
products or services, then
how does he expect the
employees to know WHY
to come to work?”
- Simon SinekInfographic published by Neil Beyersdorf

“Being the leader means
you hold the highest rank,
either by earning it, good
fortune or navigating
internal politics. Leading,
however, means that others
willingly follow you—not
because they have to, not
because they are paid to,
but because they want to.”
- Simon SinekInfographic published by Neil Beyersdorf
linkedin.com/in/neilbeyersdorf
“Those who are inspired are
willing to pay a premium or
endure inconvenience, even
personal suffering. Those who
are able to inspire will create a
following of people—
supporters, voters, customers,
workers—who act for the good
of the whole not because they
have to, but because they want
to.”
- Simon SinekInfographic published by Neil Beyersdorf

“All we have is the undying
belief of this one person of a
world that exists in the future
and his ability to communicate
it in a way that lets us imagine
it as clearly. All leaders must
have two things: they must
have a vision of the world that
does not exist and they must
have the ability to
communicate it.”
- Simon SinekInfographic published by Neil Beyersdorf

“Addicted to the short-term results,
business today has largely become a
series of quick fixes added on one
after another after another. The
short-term tactics have become so
sophisticated that an entire
economy has developed to service
the manipulations, equipped with
statistics and quasi-science. Direct
marketing companies, for example,
offer calculations about which words
will get the best results on each
piece of direct mail they send out.”
- Simon SinekInfographic published by Neil Beyersdorf

“Because the work we’re
doing now is better than
the work we were doing
six months ago. And the
work we’ll be doing six
months from now will be
better than the work
we’re doing today.”
- Simon Sinek
Infographic published by Neil Beyersdorf
linkedin.com/in/neilbeyersdorf
“The goal of business
should not be to do
business with anyone
who simply wants what
you have. It should be
to focus on the people
who believe what you
believe.”
- Simon SinekInfographic published by Neil Beyersdorf
linkedin.com/in/neilbeyersdorf
“Companies that fail to
communicate a sense of
WHY force us to make
decisions with only
empirical evidence. This
is why those decisions
take more time, feel
difficult or leave us
uncertain.”
- Simon SinekInfographic published by Neil Beyersdorf
linkedin.com/in/neilbeyersdorf
“It’s worth
repeating: people
don’t buy WHAT
you do, they buy
WHY you do it.”
- Simon Sinek

“Great leaders are those
who trust their gut. They
are those who
understand the art
before the science. They
win hearts before minds.
They are the ones who
start with WHY.”
- Simon Sinek

“There are only
two ways to
influence human
behavior: you can
manipulate it or
you can inspire it.”

result that doesn’t

do, we sometimes

WHY we do WHAT

because our behavior is
affected by our
assumptions or our

great organizations are
good at seeing what
most of us can’t see.
They are good at giving
us things we would

and there are those
who lead. Leaders
hold a position of
power or influence.
Those who lead
inspire us.”
- Simon SinekInfographic published by Neil Beyersdorf
linkedin.com/in/neilbeyersdorf
“Those who lead are
able to do so because
those who follow
trust that the
decisions made at the
top have the best
interest of the group
at heart.”

“It’s not Bill Gates’s
passion for computers
that inspires us, it’s
his undying optimism
that even the most
complicated problems
can be solved.”
- Simon Sinek
Infographic published by Neil Beyersdorf
linkedin.com/in/neilbeyersdorf
“Those who lead are able to
do so because those who
follow trust that the
decisions made at the top
have the best interest of the
group at heart. In turn,
those who trust work hard
because they feel like they
are working for something
bigger than themselves.”
- Simon SinekInfographic published by Neil Beyersdorf

“However, if we’re starting
with the wrong questions,
if we don’t understand the
cause, then even the right
answers will always steer
us wrong . . . eventually.
The truth, you see, is
always revealed . . .
eventually.”
- Simon SinekInfographic published by Neil Beyersdorf

“Many companies
have star employees
and star salesmen and
so on, but few have a
culture that produces
great people as a rule
and not an
exception.”

“Leadership is
the ability to rally
people not for a
single event, but
for years.”
- Simon Sinek

WHAT we do in our
lives, our WHY—
our driving
purpose, cause or
belief—never
changes.”

“Henry Ford
summed it up best.
“If I had asked
people what they
wanted,” he said,
“they would have
said a faster horse.””
- Simon SinekInfographic published by Neil Beyersdorf
linkedin.com/in/neilbeyersdorf
“Great leaders, in contrast, are
able to inspire people to act.
Those who are able to inspire
give people a sense of purpose
or belonging that has little to do
with any external incentive or
benefit to be gained. Those who
truly lead are able to create a
following of people who act not
because they were swayed, but
because they were inspired.”
- Simon Sinek
Infographic published by Neil Beyersdorf
linkedin.com/in/neilbeyersdorf
“This relationship starts to clarify
the difference between a vision
statement and a mission statement
in an organization. The vision is the
public statement of the founder’s
intent, WHY the company exists. It
is literally the vision of a future that
does not yet exist. The mission
statement is a description of the
route, the guiding principles—HOW
the company intends to create that
future.”
- Simon Sinek
Infographic published by Neil Beyersdorf
linkedin.com/in/neilbeyersdorf
“We are drawn to leaders
and organizations that are
good at communicating
what they believe. Their
ability to make us feel like
we belong, to make us feel
special, safe and not alone
is part of what gives them
the ability to inspire us.”
- Simon SinekInfographic published by Neil Beyersdorf
linkedin.com/in/neilbeyersdorf
“Cultures are groups of
people who come together
around a common set of
values and beliefs. When we
share values and beliefs
with others, we form trust.
Trust of others allows us to
rely on others to help
protect our children and
ensure our personal
survival.” - Simon SinekInfographic published by Neil Beyersdorf
linkedin.com/in/neilbeyersdorf
“All organizations start with
WHY, but only the great ones
keep their WHY clear year after
year. Those who forget WHY
they were founded show up to
the race every day to outdo
someone else instead of to
outdo themselves. The pursuit,
for those who lose sight of WHY
they are running the race, is for
the medal or to beat someone
else.” - Simon Sinek
Infographic published by Neil Beyersdorf
linkedin.com/in/neilbeyersdorf
“Charisma has nothing to do
with energy; it comes from a
clarity of WHY. It comes from
absolute conviction in an ideal
bigger than oneself. Energy, in
contrast, comes from a good
night’s sleep or lots of caffeine.
Energy can excite. But only
charisma can inspire. Charisma
commands loyalty. Energy does
not.”
- Simon SinekInfographic published by Neil Beyersdorf
linkedin.com/in/neilbeyersdorf
“The farther right you go on the curve,
the more you will encounter the clients
and customers who may need what you
have, but don't necessarily believe what
you believe. As clients, they are the ones
for whom, no matter how hard you
work, it's never enough. Everything
usually boils down to price with them.
They are rarely loyal. They rarely give
referrals and sometimes you may even
wonder out loud why you still do
business with them. "They just don't get
it," our gut tells us. The importance of
identifying this group is so that you can
avoid doing business with them.”
- Simon Sinek
Infographic published by Neil Beyersdorf
linkedin.com/in/neilbeyersdorf
“If the leader of the
organization can’t clearly
articulate WHY the
organization exists in
terms beyond its
products or services, then
how does he expect the
employees to know WHY
to come to work?”
- Simon SinekInfographic published by Neil Beyersdorf
linkedin.com/in/neilbeyersdorf
“Average companies
give their people
something to work on.
In contrast, the most
innovative
organizations give their
people something to
work toward.”
- Simon SinekInfographic published by Neil Beyersdorf

“Leadership
requires two things:
a vision of the
world that does not
yet exist and the
ability to
communicate it.”
- Simon SinekInfographic published by Neil Beyersdorf
linkedin.com/in/neilbeyersdorf
“The lack of a clear set of
values and beliefs, along
with the weak culture that
resulted, created the
conditions for an every-
man-for-himself
environment, the long-term
impact of which could yield
little else than disaster. This
is caveman stuff.”
- Simon SinekInfographic published by Neil Beyersdorf
linkedin.com/in/neilbeyersdorf
“The role of a leader is
not to come up with
all the great ideas. The
role of a leader is to
create an environment
in which great ideas
can happen.”
- Simon Sinek

linkedin.com/in/neilbeyersdorf
“If they had started
their sales pitch with
WHY the product
existed in the first
place, the product itself
would have become
the proof of the higher
cause—proof of WHY.”

  • 52. “All organizations start with WHY, but only the great ones keep their WHY clear year after year. Those who forget WHY they were founded show up to the race every day to outdo someone else instead of to outdo themselves. The pursuit, for those who lose sight of WHY they are running the race, is for the medal or to beat someone else.” - Simon Sinek Infographic published by Neil Beyersdorf linkedin.com/in/neilbeyersdorf
  • 53. “Charisma has nothing to do with energy; it comes from a clarity of WHY. It comes from absolute conviction in an ideal bigger than oneself. Energy, in contrast, comes from a good night’s sleep or lots of caffeine. Energy can excite. But only charisma can inspire. Charisma commands loyalty. Energy does not.” - Simon SinekInfographic published by Neil Beyersdorf linkedin.com/in/neilbeyersdorf
  • 54. “The farther right you go on the curve, the more you will encounter the clients and customers who may need what you have, but don't necessarily believe what you believe. As clients, they are the ones for whom, no matter how hard you work, it's never enough. Everything usually boils down to price with them. They are rarely loyal. They rarely give referrals and sometimes you may even wonder out loud why you still do business with them. "They just don't get it," our gut tells us. The importance of identifying this group is so that you can avoid doing business with them.” - Simon Sinek Infographic published by Neil Beyersdorf linkedin.com/in/neilbeyersdorf
  • 55. “If the leader of the organization can’t clearly articulate WHY the organization exists in terms beyond its products or services, then how does he expect the employees to know WHY to come to work?” - Simon SinekInfographic published by Neil Beyersdorf linkedin.com/in/neilbeyersdorf
  • 56. “Average companies give their people something to work on. In contrast, the most innovative organizations give their people something to work toward.” - Simon SinekInfographic published by Neil Beyersdorf linkedin.com/in/neilbeyersdorf

  • 58. “The lack of a clear set of values and beliefs, along with the weak culture that resulted, created the conditions for an every- man-for-himself environment, the long-term impact of which could yield little else than disaster. This is caveman stuff.” - Simon SinekInfographic published by Neil Beyersdorf linkedin.com/in/neilbeyersdorf
  • 59. “The role of a leader is not to come up with all the great ideas. The role of a leader is to create an environment in which great ideas can happen.” - Simon Sinek Infographic published by Neil Beyersdorf linkedin.com/in/neilbeyersdorf
  • 60. “If they had started their sales pitch with WHY the product existed in the first place, the product itself would have become the proof of the higher cause—proof of WHY.” - Simon SinekInfographic published by Neil Beyersdorf linkedin.com/in/neilbeyersdorf
