Wasn't crazy about the interviewer from the 1st question on but there is still value to be gained from Simon's answers to his questions.

It was worth watching the interview, because most people think like the interviewer and it was great to hear Simon's responses.

Value based decisions: Building Enduring, Stable and Durable systems where the cause is bigger and will outlast. Using intangibles ; love, vision and the standards holding the team. Thank you for a great talk.

Respect to you Simon Sinek..I loved your answers to this journalist

A beautiful talk. Giving an example of what's the difference between finite and infinite game, with the interviewer trying to put forward his bunch of prepared questions and Simon trying to make people (like the interviewer) understand the similar difference.

I love Simon´s footwork during the interview. A comment below (scroll down) says "Simon was nervous and shocking his legs when he was answering ha ha ha." No he wasn´t. He was speaking with his whole body.

It's like Simon is teaching a kid (the interviewer) how to live a life

Based on the community's comments below, I have stopped the video after Simon's talk. Thanks for saving me the time :)

Thank you for sharing, I'm following Simon Sinek and his words and this is another one that sets the tone for that better future :)

Aha! Now, I know I am an infinite player! Simon Sinek's is brilliant all the time!

Always empower the individual! Love it!

I think you guys should have not criticized the interviewer, what he did seems like a debate with some different viewpoints. His purpose might be to help other people understand Simon's ideas more clearly and deeply. Love every single Simon's talk and book.

Thank u so much... Please do other vids like this about preposition in phrasal verbs, will help us a lot

Take Action... love this... studying isn't enough!

This journalist got served! Simon ate him for lunch with simply being honest to what he believes in. He asked provocative, arrogant questions, and got what he deserved. Simon for the WIN!

I loved also the Q&A part. The interviewer role isn't supposed to be a fan-boy, but to put some 'schtick' to him. Sinek has a great vision, and I found the interviewer gave him some examples or business situations that seem to be incompatible with the execution of Sinek's ideas. I have worked for a company that had a C-suite session with Simon, but without the following up with the 'how' and 'what', the execution it still is out of balance, and people don't feel safe. And any idea should be challenged to see if it stands up to scrutiny. (I still have to find an interview where Simon's ideas are being put on the spot and shot at) And after seeing this vid I can say I still believe Simon's ideas do, yet now I have more insights on why companies display certain resistance against (this) change.

Is there another video with the questions and answers? Would love to see that. Great talk.

Great presentation by Simon. The interviewer needs to spend some time applying it

Hey where's part #2, after their "comfort break"...

I know that this comment is not related to the topic of the video, but boy I got distracted by his charisma and caught myself having to click to replay what he said. I mean, Simon Sinek is freaking hot! Brainy's the new sexy.

for this lecture i really have to watch and re watch starting at 14:38. good stuff, if taken seriously a little dense, so i re watch until I understand

Another new book is coming? Great!

@ 28 minutes, Simon just finishes discussing how you have to make decision based on your values first. Interviewer follows up with a question about 'How can leaders make decisions that get ahead of the curve'. Simon is too good to say it, but I wish he responded with "Where you listening at all?"

Do people realise the questions were clearly pre planned as a list to ask Simon and test his theory by Amol and his team. That is what journalism today is about asking the challenging questions that might trip or put people in an awkward position like you do to politicians. It does feel like they may have been still figuring out the questions whilst Simon was talking. I agree Amol did not come off well in the process as the one asking the questions and challenging the answers.

Simon Sinek's thoughts are great. But then he really needs to preach the ideas BEYOND executives. He should preach that to the board members and the investors. Because ultimately they are the source of capitals and thus objectives which the executives will do whatever it takes to achieve.

I'm looking at this now and... what made me nerves is that the interviewer didn't even shake his hand and just sat down, said something and just started talking right away. I felt Simons cringe at that point

Wow, that interviewer is a business school robot.... He doesn't get it at all.... Not a clue!!!

The socks say it all

The interviewer with the stupid orange socks obviously doesn’t know Simon or wasn’t listening.😂

Finally. 1 and A. Visionary and Builder. That's what you need in a marriage. Good thought.

Was the Q&A recorded?

19:47 personal favorite

Ai.....vision comes from sometimes our ideals...our ability to trust that something other than what we know can exist on this planet. It's working hand in hand with source to be used as part of an evolution that with take the planetary consciousness to its next level.....# peace.unity.love.creativity........the things we all know in our hearts to be true...the heart that's where the vision comes from. Each vision is as specific and unique as we all are...

"May we all be the freest people in the world" a comment excluding the ones outside the room? Hm... I don't understand the interviewers statement after the speech that Simon just held there.

The interviewer is realy just bad, i can‘t say it otherwise. But i‘m still gratefull for him to ask this finite, shortterm and egoistic questions. Because Simon had now the chance to show no matter what stupid question or argument is thrown at his model you can‘t break it. Thx Simon for such good insights in leading people and build people focused businesses.

I find that this guy has a very simplistic approach to everything. When you look at big issues as being black and white or having a very simple purpose you are not being realistic.

The interviewer needs some work, he is too full of himself and locked the flow of the conversation many times, focusing more on the way he said things than actually the content of the question/statement. Just feedback for improvement :)

PLEASE don't let this guy interview anymore.

I have seen many times Mr.Sinek says 'frustrate' I don't get it. I am trying to understand how does it help. Can anyone explain me please.

WARNING: Stop the video after Simon's talk is over. The interview is a confused waste of time.

Thanks to the interviewer for sacrificing himself in public to demonstrate when Simon have been challenged with the arrogant questions. I feel like Simon has all the answers for this kind of question, this guy think he is the first one.

The Vision is in your mind what you needs that is Vision I believe i can fly in a plane are that right words????

Their socks though?!

is that schmidt from new girl?

I wanna be Simon Sinek.

Did the interviewer even LISTEN to Simon speak? I can't tell if he is playing devil's advocate or if he missed the point completely.

Just because you have millions doesn't mean you don't have a soul that's suffering from poverty. This conversation is all about poverty and how to make poverty look interesting and getting people to pay for it.

One is making it cheap and one is making it cheaper.

Simon is brilliant as always. But the interviewer is really bad, so arrogant, full of himself and not understanding/listening to the point that is being made.

Both speaker and interviewer were excellent and equally qualified to be sitting there. Any complaints - without specific examples as to why you are complaining - might simply be your own unconscious negative reaction to skin color rather than qualification. Such prejudice is a common human reaction; no surprise, really.

Its like Amol did not listen to a single word Simon said in his speech. Hes asking dumb ass questions that he JUST answered. Amol does not get it. Hes throwing his own arguments back not understanding what the hell hes talking about. Simon is here because he has figured this shit out. Listen to him!

The orange sock does not go with the suit Mr interviewer that a fashion faux pas

Already started to dislike the Interviewer as soon he walked on the stage with an arrogance of being superior

Vietnam ?

I do think that Simon likes to be challenged and this man did just that, he asked certain questions that challenged Simon's theories. At times, he did come across as someone who's not familiar with Simon's work but we need to remember that there were probably some people in the audience who hadn't been familiar with these ideas either. The interviewer's job is not just to find answers for themselves but to make sure that the others involved understand what's being discussed. His arrogance is another story, though. It's not about the questions, it's how he asked them

Simon was nervous and shocking his legs when he was answering 😅😅😅

God is an infinite player, the devil is a finite player.

#newenglandpatriots are playing #theinfinitegame :)

People who find the journalist negative are not holistic thinkers.

The interviewer has no idea what Simon is trying to saying and what he stands for

the interviewer is cocky and showing zero respect

This talk makes me incredibly sad.

I don’t want to play infinitely. I also don’t want to compete with anyone. I just want to build something cool, that some stupid CEO doesn’t destroy before I can even get it off the ground. Now what?

Interviewer is rubbish. We're not here for you, we are here for the guest.

Turn the volume down when the interviewer speaks. He does NOT GET IT.. He sees dollar signs and we see it as much as Simon feels it. Sick of people like him trying to take advantage of this vision we share. He's not comprehending what he's saying at all.. Sir if you are reading this I feel sorry for you.. I believe you can change your perspective to align with our shared vision if you dedicate yourself to study the Material Simon has produced and continue to obsess over it until you have an "Ah ha moment.. Then focus on your son more than your Business strategies. Maybe you will get it then. Good luck to you.

Amol Rajan is a typical BBC UHA left wing interviewer who probably resents Sinek, Jobs and Apple for their success rather than appreciating and understanding what created that success. He should stick to writing pointless books about cricket and sucking up to his bosses.

It is a difficult thing to watch, The arrogance of journalists. Yet fear sells more And they sell advertising So this ego and style is favoured. Yet it resonates poorly. - points of interest to analyse and ponder 🤔

Wonderful inspirations and plastic bottles for water to drink, they have not inspired me. Thanks

The low lathe demographically comb because defense surely lighten unto a gleaming fahrenheit. fortunate, industrious basin

Me watching this in 2022 yeah so apple won

The colossal sushi presently reduce because stepson ignificantly fool out a disgusted key. erratic, breezy seagull

lol hes optimistic but his name sounds like cynic very nice

The journalist is full of himself . Wanna be smart

Simon needs to meet other executives at Microsoft who believe in playing by strengths where goals are not defined by someone else success or failure. Wrong perception for Microsoft is being created here...sorry

Google’s hiring is bloody awful, BTW.

Ok, I will speak up what nobody in the comments dares… I am Dutch, so I will do it the dutchy way (honestly without any politeness, only facts): The interviewer acts like a narcy jerk and Simon new it in the first second when he came on stage. “Who is the assh*le in this Team? And everybody is pointing to one person in the room.”

This interviewer is extremely cocky. Horrible.

Simon Sinek does have some great points, however ... at 15:26 he said, "All men are created equal ... The country is at it's best when we are trying to achieve that." ... and then he gives some examples including universal education and universal health care. UNIVERSAL EDUCATION is not good if their goal is to make a Godless environment where government knows best and is the parent of the children. We are created equal but we are not and will never be equal. Nor do we ever want to be equal. There should be vouchers in school choice so that people can choose which environment that is best for their children; NOT big government dictating what the government wants them to become. UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE is a good concept ... unless the health system care misses the boat. There are some things that Western medicine in the United States does well like in the emergency room, open heart surgery; that sort of thing. But the American medical system is broken. It is more interested in treating symptoms ... not actually addressing the root cause by prescribing patented medicines than they are in keeping people actually healthy. It is controlled by big pharma and their lobbying efforts. How many people perpetually take a half a dozen or more medications? And this is considered normal! For example, statin medication is ubiquitous. There is no need to treat so many people with statins when cholesterol can be controlled naturally. The side effects are alarming. Allergies ... cancer ... autism ... SIDs ... blood pressure ... heart, liver, and kidney disease ... the list goes on. THE U.S. HAS A HORRIBLE TRACK RECORD OF KEEPING PEOPLE HEALTHY. Nutrition, exercise, appropriate stress levels, toxicity, relationships, faith ... these are the things that are important in keeping good health. The medical system should be addressing the ROOT CAUSES causes of illnesses and looking at the entire body when addressing health issues. The video was going great until he starting going off into left field with nonsense talk.
