Takeaways:

  • Learn why Sinek says modern parenting styles have disabled millennials from understanding the realities of the working world.
  • You can’t go to the gym for eight hours and suddenly be fit. But you can work out for 20 minutes a day and over time, get in shape. The same goes for business. Learn how immediate gratification can debilitate leaders.

Favorite quote from this episode:

“I think we often confuse taking care of people and offering them excessive affirmation. Taking care of people means ‘I want to see you grow. I want to see you build your self-confidence. I want to see you learn accountability, responsibility. I’m gonna give you opportunities to fall and try again, and fall and try again.’ “

—Simon Sinek
