Start With Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action

　　要如何激勵人心呢？一切從黃金圈的「為什麼？」開始。

　　組織與世人見面的方式通常都是通過What──「做什麼？」也就是組織的商品與成果，這是每個人最快學會的項目，我們上班都是去做這件事，誤打誤撞也必定會做出一些成果。

　　在製造商品與成果的過程中，我們間接學會了How──「怎麼做？」，這是組織的做事模式與流程，這件事不見得人人都學得會。

　　善於激勵人心的組織與領導人，告訴我們要從Why──「為什麼？」開始，這是組織的核心價值（願景），因為不同的核心價值，而有不同的組織文化，與社會產生不同的互動模式。

　　影響聯合國大使、跨國企業、好萊塢的超人氣演說家西奈克，揭開賈伯斯、萊特兄弟等卓越領導者共通的「黃金圈」思維原則：

　　為什麼：動力的核心。你的使命、信念是什麼？別人為何要在意你的存在？
　　如何做：做事的方法。通常是以如何做來解釋自己優於其他之處。
　　做什麼：事情的結果。描述自己負責的工作、公司的產品，是最簡單的表層問題。

　　挖掘自己核心的「為什麼」，就能激勵自己、感召別人，大幅增加影響力！

The inspiring, life-changing bestseller by the author of LEADERS EAT LAST and TOGETHER IS BETTER.

In 2009, Simon Sinek started a movement to help people become more inspired at work, and in turn inspire their colleagues and customers. Since then, millions have been touched by the power of his ideas, including more than 28 million who've watched his TED Talk based on START WITH WHY -- the third most popular TED video of all time.

Sinek starts with a fundamental question: Why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their success over and over?

People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in common, but they all started with WHY. They realized that people won't truly buy into a product, service, movement, or idea until they understand the WHY behind it.

START WITH WHY shows that the leaders who've had the greatest influence in the world all think, act, and communicate the same way -- and it's the opposite of what everyone else does. Sinek calls this powerful idea The Golden Circle, and it provides a framework upon which organizations can be built, movements can be led, and people can be inspired. And it all starts with WHY.
