![]() Sinek, not all Wooden’s players were top college basketball draft picks, however, he did get the best out of even his worst players and then they became great ones. Instead he concentrated on helping his players be the best that they could be. However, even when he had lost a game especially a big one in the national championship, he did not get upset over it and ragged his players and staff. The end result was that his team won ten NCAA national championships in a 12-year period. Many of you will know Simon from his book Start With Why and his TED talk that became one of the most-watched TED talks of all time. All he care about was helping his players/students. Listen to Simon share the lessons of service and sacrifice in the military that led him to write 'Leaders Eat Last'. Winning or losing a game did not matter to Mr. Sinek, when Wooden became ULCA basketball coach, he wanted to help everyone succeed by making them the best they could be. There was another Simon Sinek segment on Ted Talk (don’t remember the title), where he talked about John Wooden’s experience as a teacher where he saw the good students excelled with little or no effort while the other students had to work their tails off in order to get the same results and he thought that because of it, our education system was all screwed up.Īccording to Mr. I have respect for the the US and Conferderate officers of the American Civil War because it it was the last war that you had officers from the rank of major to general being killed in large numbers when compare those officers involve in American wars after that time period. In a police force, you can be a leader while still being a patrol officer/detective and remain in that position and don’t have to worry about being kicked off the force because the police don’t have an up or out policy when it comes to promotion. He published Start With Why in 2011 (which the Ted Talk was based on) and in his recent NY Times Best Seller, Leaders Eat Last, he shares ideas and stories of how leaders can create environments. ![]() ![]() In the military, it is impossible to find leader who after 20 to 40 years are still buck privates, corporals, buck sergeants, second lieutenants, first lieutenants, and captains because they don’t want to move up the promotion ladder but if they don’t move up, they are force to leave the military. It is funny about Sinek’s remark about being leaders at the bottom. It must have gotten that from the Japanese companies because for a long time, that was there policy of not laying people off and we American mock them for having such a stupid policy. It is too bad that the rest of the American companies that NextJump don’t adopt the policy of not laying people off. That lady who yell at the passenger had no right to do so but I can understand her because as Edward Demning pointed out we need to drive fear out of the workplace and she did have fear of her bosses.
