Find Your Why by Simon Sinek is a great book to read. With Start With Why, Simon Sinek inspired a movement to build a world in which the vast majority of us can feel safe while we are at work and fulfilled when we go home at night. However, many people have had trouble bringing the book's message into their own career and company. Now, along with two of his colleagues, Peter Docker and David Mead, he has created a guide to the most important step any business can take: finding your why.
[ Download link is in the bottom of the page ]Here are first few pages of Find Your Why by Simon Sinek :
Sometimes a project that looks like an easy win for us turns into a disappointment or even a disaster.
More importantly, sometimes we, or a competitor, succeed brilliantly when all the usual business
assumptions say we should have flopped. These outcomes can seem mysterious, but they’re not if looked
at in a framework that starts with WHY.
In his book, Start with Why, Simon Sinek uses a model that he calls the Golden Circle to explain how
legendary leaders such as Steve Jobs, Martin Luther King Jr. and the Wright brothers were able to achieve
what others who were just as smart and hardworking, and sometimes better funded, were not.
If you’ve read Simon’s book or seen him talk about WHY on TED.com (http://bit.ly/GoldenCircleTalk),
you’re already familiar with the Golden Circle; this chapter will serve to remind you of the most
important points. If the Golden Circle is new for you, what follows is the heart of the matter—and is
essential preparation for your own search for WHY.
Every organization—and every person’s career—operates on three levels, as shown in the illustration on
the next page: What we do, how we do it, and why we do it. We all know what we do: the products we
sell, the services we offer or the jobs we do. Some of us know how we do it: the things that we think
make us different or stand out from the crowd. But very few of us can clearly articulate why we do what
we do.
“Hold on,” you might say. “Let’s be honest here—aren’t most people working to earn money? That’s the
obvious ‘why.’” First, money is a result. Though it is a part of the picture, it’s not what inspires any one of
us to get out of bed in the morning. And for the cynics out there who think they or others really do get out. of bed for the money, the question we ask is, what is the reason they want the money. Is it for freedom? To
travel? To provide a lifestyle for their kids that they didn’t have? Is it to keep score and show they have
done more than others? The point is, money isn’t the thing that drives people. WHY goes much deeper to
understanding what motivates and inspires us. It is the purpose, cause or belief that drives every
organization and every person’s individual career. Why does your company exist? Why did you get out of
bed this morning? And why should anyone care?
When we meet new customers or clients, the first thing most of us tell them is what we do. Then we
explain how we do it or how we are different. This, we think, will be enough to win their business, sway
their point of view or convince them to take a particular action. The following pitch follows that template:
We sell paper. We offer the highest quality product at the best possible price. Lower than any of our
competitors. Wanna buy some?
This is a very rational pitch. It states clearly what the company does and attempts to persuade potential
buyers to choose its product over others’ on the basis of features and benefits. Though this approach may
work now and then, at best it will result in a few recurring transactions. As soon as the buyer finds a
better deal, they will be gone, because the pitch doesn’t differentiate this specific vendor from other
companies in any way that truly matters. Loyalty is not built on features and benefits. Features and benefits
do not inspire. Loyalty and long-lasting relationships are based on something deeper.
Let’s try the pitch again. Let’s start with WHY:
What good is an idea if it can’t be shared? Our company was founded to help spread ideas. The more
ideas that are shared, the greater the likelihood those ideas will have an impact in the world. There are
many ways to share ideas; one is the written word. That’s where we come in. We make paper for those
words. We make paper for big ideas. Wanna buy some?
Totally different, right? Starting with WHY just made paper sound really good. And if it can do that for a
commodity, imagine what it can do for a product that really can stand out. This pitch is not based on facts
and figures, features and benefits. Those things have value but not first. Leading with WHY has a deeper,
more emotional and ultimately more influential value. When we use the second pitch, we’re no longer
talking about paper. We’re talking about who our company is and what we stand for. Of course, you’ll
always get those people who just want a ream of paper. And yet, if your customers’ personal beliefs and
values align with those expressed in your pitch—i.e., if they believe in the spread of ideas—then they are
much more likely to want to do business with you, not just one time, but over and over and over again.
In fact, they are more likely to stay loyal even if another vendor offers a better price. It says something
about them when they do business with a company that reflects their beliefs.
Companies that inspire, companies that command trust and loyalty over the long term, are the ones that
make us feel we’re accomplishing something bigger than just saving a buck. That feeling of alliance with
something bigger is the reason we keep wearing the jersey of our hometown sports team even though
they’ve missed the playoffs for ten years and counting. It’s why some of us will always buy Apple
products over other brands, even if Apple isn’t always the most affordable choice. Whether we like to
admit it or not, we are not entirely rational beings. If we were, no one would ever fall in love and no one.
