Simon Sinek: If You Don't Understand People, You Don't Understand Business
About this presentation
In this wide-ranging talk, ethnographer and leadership expert Simon Sinek discusses the importance of trust, authenticity, and meaning. Sinek argues that as individuals and companies, everything that we say and do is a symbol of who we are. And it is only when we communicate our beliefs authentically that we can attract others to our cause, and form the bonds that will empower us to achieve truly great things.
His innovative views on business and leadership have earned him invitations to meet with an array of leaders and organizations, including Microsoft, Dell, SAP, Intel, Chanel, Members of the United States Congress, and the Ambassadors of Bahrain and Iraq.
Sinek recently became an adjunct staff member of the RAND Corporation, one of the most highly regarded think tanks in the world. He also works with the non-profit Education for Employment Foundation to help create opportunities for young men and women in the Middle East region. He lives in New York, where he teaches graduate level strategic communications at Columbia University.
Sagmeister Movie ‘The Happy Film’ Teaser Trailer
The Hillman Curtis-directed documentary, The Happy Film, starring Stefan Sagmeister has released its first teaser trailer (see below).
Not much is revealed in the trailer except the film's title, whose words are creatively put together by monkeys (with bananas), a swan (with rice grains) and a boar (with watermelon).
Currently still in production, The Happy Film documents Sagmeister as he undertakes experiments designed to improve his personal well-being and happiness level. The film is scheduled for release in the Spring of 2012.
