- What makes a great leader? Management theorist Simon Sinek suggests, it's someone who makes their employees feel secure, who draws staffers into a circle of trust. But creating trust and safety - especially in an uneven economy - means taking on big responsibility.

I worked for a large company that offered me a 60 percent pay increase after I have been there a few months. I refused the increase and told my boss to give it to the employees. My boss said he could do that but the company had never done that before. A few days after I was offered the increase an employee said to me that he assumed I got a big pay increase. I said to him I was offered a pay increase but asked to have it go to the employees. He replied with a skeptical response. I told I would be glad to show him my pay stubs. That conversation ended and he walked away. A few days later the employees saw their pay increase. At the end of one year we had increased sales 3.2 times what it had been with no new employees.
The most authentic and compelling definition of leadership to date.
Amazing "Help the person to the left and right of you" that's leadership.🙏
That's so satisfying to listen too. His points on what makes a good leader are just right and agreedable. You can't call yourself a leader while sacrificing all your crew for your own benefit. A leader should always step in first and open the way for everybody, create a safe environment where trust is above fear. And he never abandon the ship until everyone is safe
"Leadership is a choice; it is not a rank."
Hey random person scrolling throught the comments. I just want to say: have a great day or night!
There is a difference between "being in a leadership position" and "leading".
"Its better that we should all suffer a little, then any of us should have to suffer a lot"
Goodness this guy is a good speaker.
Soooo, are we just going to ignore that beautiful circle??
this was the best TED talk i have ever heard, and as cheesy as it sounds, i feel really inspired to be a leader and maybe start a company/business in the future. absolutely outstanding.

"From strong leadership comes unity, from unity comes power."
This speech was phenomenal. I am a coach and I'm also a leader in corporate and I am surprised that so many people in positions of authority do not get this basic concept of sacrifice and building trust among the team. This is such good information. Thank you
Beautiful speech. Loved how he went back to that statement of why would someone sacrifice themselves for others: „Because they would have done it for me“. This moved me really deeply.
Another masterpiece on leadership, it so true that there’s a huge difference between leadership and authority, and making people feel safe and protected by their leadership is one of those serious distinctions!
On my job I have two managers that are exactly as explained on this talk... It really makes me feel confident to work and my job became a pleasure! I hope that every one have the opportunity to work for a organisation like this!
"Its actually the right environment, it makes people become better and capable of doing a lot more" WOW! That just blew my mind, simple yet powerful.
Simons perspective is so inspiring. I truly hope Leaders in modern day business begin to adoption of these insights. It’s absolutely beautiful to have these types of beliefs to help improve our humanity. We need more love of people not love of profits in our democracy to create Peace and Prosperity for all .
Many people are drawn to Leadership roles but few are Leaders... Thank you Simon for explaining it.
