OVERVIEW
If we are starting with the wrong questions, if we don't understand the cause then eventually the right answer will always steer us wrong eventually.
Ex:- Wright brothers and Langley, steve jobs and Martin Luther King are the best examples how they started thinking about "start with why".
Leaders who do something very very special they inspire us.
Assume we know we make decisions based on what we think we know.
Manipulation Vs Inspiration
Price:- How much are you willing to pay for the money you make.
Promotion:- That little something extra is something all it takes to tip the scale.
Fear:- It is a powerful manipulation.
Aspiration:-Marketers often talk about the aspirational message tempt toward something desirable.
Novelty:- How they do it, for example, a toothpaste company has 32 types of toothpaste excluding children toothpaste.
Manipulations leads to transactions not loyalty.
Need to ask your self -"how great leaders inspire action and why good leaders make you feel safe"
THE GOLDEN CIRCLE
WHAT:- everybody knows what to do whether it is small or big organization and there should be consistency in "what"
HOW:-some companies and people know how they do what they do.
WHY:- very few companies can articulate why they do what they do.
We say what we do, we sometimes say how we do it but we rarely say why we do and what we do.
People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it
This is not an opinion, this is a biology
