More than a decade ago, Simon Sinek launched a movement that challenged people to find purpose in their work by asking a simple yet profound question: What is the WHY of your organisation? These ideas, as timely and powerful as ever, continue to resonate with audiences worldwide.
Start with Why explores why some individuals and organisations are more innovative, influential, and successful than others, and why only a few can sustain success over time. Sinek reveals that the world’s most impactful leaders—figures like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers—had one crucial thing in common: they all started with WHY. They understood that true inspiration stems from a clear purpose, and people connect more deeply to the WHY than to any product, service, or idea itself.
In this book, Sinek introduces the transformative concept of The Golden Circle—a framework for leadership and influence that flips traditional thinking on its head. With compelling insights and real-world examples, Start with Why provides the tools to inspire action, foster loyalty, and create a lasting impact. Everything begins with WHY.
