“People don’t buy what you do; they buy why you do it.” Customers and employees are drawn to the purpose behind your actions. When your why aligns with their beliefs, you build a loyal following that transcends transactions.

Why People Follow You 🤝

Visionary leaders inspire by communicating their why. They create environments where teams feel connected to a shared purpose, driving motivation and innovation. Leadership isn’t about authority; it’s about creating belief.

The Role of Leadership 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

Focusing solely on profit leads to short-term gains but fails to inspire. Companies like Apple succeed because their why centers on innovation and challenging the status quo. Profit is a result, not the purpose.

Why Over Profit 💼

Manipulations like discounts or promotions create fleeting motivation. Inspiration, driven by why, builds lasting relationships. Inspire action by consistently communicating your core purpose.

Motivation vs. Inspiration 💡

Knowing your why isn’t enough—it must guide your how and what. Actions and offerings that align with your purpose reinforce your credibility and strengthen your connection with others.

Loyalty isn’t about price or features—it’s about values. Customers and employees who share your why stick with you, even when competitors offer similar or better options.

The Golden Circle 🎯

Learn how great leaders and organizations inspire loyalty and achieve lasting success by starting with their purpose—their why.

The inspirational bestseller that ignited a movement and asked us to find our WHY Discover the book that is captivating millions on TikTok and that served as the basis for one of the most popular TED Talks of all time—with more than 56 million views and counting. Over a decade ago, Simon Sinek started a movement that inspired millions to demand purpose at work, to ask what was the WHY of their organization. Since then, millions have been touched by the power of his ideas, and these ideas remain as relevant and timely as ever.   START WITH WHY asks (and answers) the questions: 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 have 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.
