The Infinite Game

De: Simon Sinek

Narrado por: Simon Sinek

From the New York Times best-selling author of Start with Why and Leaders Eat Last, a bold framework for leadership in today’s ever-changing world.

How do we win a game that has no end? Finite games, like football or chess, have known players, fixed rules, and a clear endpoint. The winners and losers are easily identified. Infinite games, games with no finish line, like business or politics, or life itself, have players who come and go. The rules of an infinite game are changeable, while infinite games have no defined endpoint. There are no winners or losers - only ahead and behind.

The question is, how do we play to succeed in the game we’re in?

In this revelatory new audiobook, Simon Sinek offers a framework for leading with an infinite mindset. On one hand, none of us can resist the fleeting thrills of a promotion earned or a tournament won, yet these rewards fade quickly. In pursuit of a just cause, 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. Although we do not know the exact form this world will take, working toward it gives our work and our life meaning.

Leaders who embrace an infinite mindset build stronger, more innovative, more inspiring organizations. Ultimately, they are the ones who lead us into the future.

Excellent and tangible

Truly excellent and the most tangible of Simon's books this far. It was definitely worth the wait.

Wonderful and full of inspiration

This is Simon's best book yet. For me this book boiled down to simple truths, and the lies we tell ourselves and others.

Awesome book, must read!

I would recommend this to anyone looking for more than they have in their life right now!

Excellent perspective on looking at life.

A great way to look at how one manages relationships, careers and decision making. A guide to long term fulfillment and happiness.

He does it again

Making the complex simple to understand and told un a creative way. I enjoyed listening and purchased the hardback as well. I will enjoy going deeper into what I have learned.

Recommended

Simple concept but worth the read. Recommended! Hopefully CEOs read it and make use of it

Great book with great points

I loved that this book included so many examples of companies that helped to make Simon's points. His pronunciation of words were unconventional at times which distracted from the points he was making but once I got over it, I was able to enjoy the great points he was making. Definitely worth listening or reading!

The fella just keeps getting better.

Wonderful oratory skills, highly recommended for business and personal life. Thought provoking, engaging and completely honest.

Wise words that last

This is a very helpful book that help me re-frame what winning means – too often in business, we are taught that we need to be the best, we need to beat the competition etc. etc. The reality is that winning is not enough – we need to continuously strive to be better every day and have a long-term mindset that empowers our employees, maintains integrity, and allows us to achieve not for the sake of achievement but for the greater purpose of humanity. Great read.

Greatm, but really bothered by one thing...

I think the way Simon characterizes Milton Friedman in this book is really not fair. The way Simon talks about Friedman made it sound like was totally ok with any negative aspects of corporations, and was on board with the idea that Profit is and should be the only goal of a corporation. After listening to MF quite a bit, I think this is a gross misrepresentation, and every time he brought it up, it really bothered me and took away a bit from his message.

If this book is the only angle you are getting on Milton Friedman, please do yourself a favor and listen to a few talks from him.

Other than that, I thought the book and it's ideas were really good!
