See also: The Infinite Game by Simon Sinek. Great read (based on a previous work, Finite and Infinite Games by James Carse) on the need to play on a different playing field than the one that supposedly has a 'winner' and a 'loser.' Applies to companies, individuals, organizations, relationships...you get the idea.
To beat a dead analogy, if you're climbing to reach the top 'ledge' you started out looking for, you might not start...or you might climb with such a singular focus that you miss another path that would take you off to the side and up another, higher route.

- louwrentius 6y agoI don’t think people should take anything from Simon Sinek. His presentation skills are great I must admit.
- eggsbenedict 6y agoSo, as of this comment, all I know is that Simon Sinek has a book called The Infinite Game. This book has an interesting premise, about which I just read a short writeup and analysis. I have also been told that Sinek has excellent presentation skills. Strangely, in the middle of these two comments, I was told that people should not take anything from Simon Sinek. Why?
- faichai 6y agoHe has a tendency to substantiate his views with bad takes on science.
- sixstringtheory 6y agoCould you expand on this? I've certainly been enamored with his presentations, although I don't think the ideas he presents are necessarily original, but he has a great knack for formulation/synthesis and distilling the ideas to their essence. Like this article, he's not the end-all-be-all but certainly worthy of consideration as part of forming a grander perspective in life.
