The Golden Circle: Sinek introduces the concept of the Golden Circle, which consists of three layers • Why (the core purpose, cause, or belief behind what you do) • How (the process or unique way you deliver on your "Why") • What (the products or services you offer) • Successful leaders and organizations start with " Why " and then move outward to "How" and " What " 2. The Power of Why • Starting with "Why" helps create a strong sense of purpose that resonates deeply with people. This purpose is not just about making money but about making a difference, which inspires loyalty and drives long-term success 3.
