The Infinite Game Hardcover – October 15, 2019

This book is excellent on so many levels. It clearly explains why we lead as infinite leaders and the benefits it brings. The real-life example of some well-known leaders on both sides and with impact was based on being finite or infinite leaders. This is a must-read.

Really liked the original ideas and insights shared in this book. The fact that these ideas were all further illustrated by real life accounts helped me to more fully understand the concepts being shared. The simple language such as "Just Cause" made this book an easy read for average person.I'm a Christian who has served as a pastor and now leads a non-profit and that this book. while secular, encourages servant leadership that Jesus taught His followers using His same style of teaching: Parables.Every aspiring leader should read this book.

I liked that the book was delivered on schedule and the condition matched what was advertised.

This is the third of three Simon Sinek books that I have read. I must say that "Start With Why" is still my favorite, but "The Infinite Game" comes in a strong recond. Sinek did a great job rebounding from his previous book, "Leaders Eat Last," which wasn't bad, but didn't articulate anything I didn't already know. This book, however, addressed the core of what I see a lot of organizations and companies struggling with, which is a long-term vision. We are so wired to only see until the next quarterly earnings report, hoping to make a quick buck that we forget about the long-term longevity of the company.Sinek did a great job showing that those leaders who play the finite game instead of the infinite game display significant weaknesses, which becomes a detriment to their vision and, ultimately, the success of the organizations/businesses they lead. I also particularly appreciated the author's elaboration on the dangers of high performance-low trust leaders/employees. The status quo is so focused on this type of mindset, and it explains why so many people are unhappy with their workplace climate. The high performance-low trust people are the ones that will stab you in the back and take anyone down to get to the top. Our society seems to be breeding more of this type of performer, and that is very concerning.I also appreciate the author explaining how money and focusing too much on the product should not be the primary focus because when it is, a majority of the workforce suffers. Indeed, generating revenue is important since that is what keeps the organization alive. Still, too much emphasis on profit brings the vision down to the finite level instead of the infinite. The author highlights companies such as Patagonia and CVS who have lead from the infinite mindset and have seen tremendous success despite criticism.What I do see resonating through all three of Sinek's books thus far is a specific success formula for businesses to succeed. That is, take care of your employees, who will take care of the customers, who will then take care of the shareholders. There is a lot of pure truth to that.

I love this book, its content is incredible, I recommend it 100% this book and the service of deliver.

This will be one of those books that I read and then let it go to work in challenging my current views of life. It started off easy, then as some of my own finite thinking became apparent it got uncomfortable. At some point I was toying with the idea of putting it down.Now that I've read it cover-to-cover I can look back at my own journey through the book and I realized that the book is just a primer for the lifelong journey. A just cause for me is to try to leave everyone and everything I touch in a better position. To live with purpose from passion and make a difference every day.If you are willing to examine your own life and step back to see the big picture then this book is for you.Thank you to the courageous leaders who stood up and stood out and continue to do so for so long as they are in the game. As you so rightly said Simon: this book is the result of the a bunch of people who had the courage to live out experimentally what they knew in their gut to be a better way.Ps. Theodore may just have been right about The man in the arena....

Great book for those working on organizational transformation

Simon has written yet another thought provoking, book that challenges our values and way we view our PURPOSE in life.1) Our life is finite (because we will all eventually die one day) however LIFE is infinite until we blow up this planet- Until we consider ourselves as stewards of this planet, we will live with a finite mindset to consume as much, use as much, and have little to no desire to leave the world a little better than after we die.2) A finite (scarcity) mindset is all about ME. How much will I gain, benefit, or profit from my efforts with little or less regard on any negative impact our actions may leave behind.3) An Infinite (Abundant) mindset is more about creating, adding or sharing value. Its more about how can I perform a better service with my talents, sweat, and connections to "make this a better place for you and me." Because "We are the World."This is MUST READ BOOK, before we blow ourselves up off this planet.William TehInvestor | Author | EntrepreneurTTTrends Investments

Must read.

Simon Sinek is a master of taking a simple, often obscure, and frequently misunderstood idea and making it clear, focused and compelling. This is an easy read about a big idea that has the power to change how you see your life and work differently. It’s well researched and clearly presented. Worth the energy and time.
