I enjoyed the Simon Sinek clip about the immense amount of curiosity that accomplished leaders possess. Thinking outside the box…reminds me of Apple’s Steve Jobs.
I am sharing the graphic of working through a problem with my team – very good perspective to see the flow from questioning, reflecting, discussing, learning, to action.
In the video Simon Sinek said he is moved emotionally when great and successful men who have done so much, lean forward as others speak. He said they do so to listen better as others share ideas. In spite of their accomplishments, these people are still open to learning new things and embracing new ways of thinking or doing.
From the entire interview, what i hear is that “humility” is the best path forward. Many in today’s worldview humility as a lack of confidence or competence and even weakness. I think such people are wrong.
Not only do we learn a great deal by being humble and receptive to new things, I choose to believe that it disarms adversaries or those who would otherwise not lend a helping hand to achieve important goals or move things forward.
“Even though a ruler may be as wise as a sage, he must humble himself and yield to others. It is only then, that the intelligent will offer him their counsel and the brave will exert themselves to the fullest for him.” Sima Guang, Ancient Chinese Scholar!

I looked up the Wild Geese poem as I hadn’t heard of it before and did find her use of periods very effective. I found it related to the article on Perusall of people finding brilliance when they are in that flow state focused on a task at hand or in helping people.
No one is an expert at leadership (Simon Sinek) — but anyone can be a leader.
