I’m committed to working on projects that will help humanity thrive and I work hard to manage my attention and energy in ways that maximize my impact. Often, this means stepping back and slowing down to appreciate the big picture. If you’ve ever wondered if you’ve become too focused on short-term goals, Simon Sinek’s The Infinite Game is a must-read. It will inspire you to find ways to ground your business in purpose, be inspired by your rivals, and create organizations with cultures built to last.
Sinek demonstrates the principles of long-term thinking through anecdotes from some of the world’s most inspiring teams. Via these stories, he builds up a picture of what it means to be a leader that works for the good of all stakeholders, makes decisions with high integrity, and above all, takes the long view on fulfilling the core mission of their team.
