The Infinite Game

Simon Sinek is a bestselling author of the books Start With Why, Leaders Eat Last, Together Is Better, and Find Your Why. He is working to create a world in which the vast majority of us wake up inspired, feel safe at work, and return home fulfilled.

How can we win a game with no end? Games with known players, fixed rules, and a clear endpoint, such as football or chess, are examples of finite games. The winners and losers are readily apparent. Players come and go in infinite games, games with no finish line, such as business, politics, or life itself. An infinite game's rules can be changed, whereas infinite games have no defined endpoint. There are no winners or losers, only those who are ahead and those who are behind.

The question is, how do we play to win in this game? Simon Sinek provides a framework for leading with an infinite mindset in The Infinite Game. On the one hand, none of us can resist the fleeting thrills of a promotion or a tournament victory, but these rewards are fleeting. We will commit to a vision of a future world so appealing that we will build it week after week, month after month, year after year in pursuit of a Just Cause. Although we don't know what shape this world will take, striving for it gives our work and lives meaning.

Leaders who embrace an infinite mindset build organizations that are stronger, more innovative, and more inspiring. Finally, they are the ones who will guide us into the future.
