Ooh, I'm excited to talk about this today! Simon Sinek has been a help to me in many ways over the years. His work on "Always Speak Last" and "Start With Why" continue to affect the way I think and live. One of his newer books, "The Infinite Game" shares ideas that have become immediately relevant in decision making, relationship... handling, and general understanding of my purpose.
I hope you find this powerful in assessing if the things you struggle with in this life are about winning, or about keeping going and growing. When we are in something for its betterment and our betterment, with no direct competition and no deadline or timeframe... great things WILL happen.
- How does an infinite game differ from a finite game?
- If the purpose is to win by a deadline, what are drawbacks to that approach?
- How can the goal to keep going and keep growing produce far, far more results?
- If you stop comparing and stopped competing, how would that free you up to grow?
- What are practical situations where an infinite game approach can fill you with optimism?
