Preparation:

This discussion is based on a TED Talk by Simon Sinek, (found at the end of your Module 1). as well as drawing on readings from the Introduction to Management module. Fascinated by leaders with the capacity to inspire and have an impact in the world, Sinek has discovered some remarkable patterns in how these leaders think, act, and communicate. He wrote Start With Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action to explore the idea of the golden circle, which is what he calls a naturally occurring pattern, grounded in the biology of human decision-making, that explains why we are inspired by some people, leaders, messages, and organizations over others.

Discussion Board Topic:

Sinek uses the Wright Brothers and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as examples of people who were successful because they believed deeply in what they were doing and communicated from the why portion of his golden circle. Can you identify any other examples of this type of leader? Explain your example, and define their why.
