The Infinite Game: Play to Endure and Thrive


Are you in business to win a game, or to play it forever? In this essential episode, we're diving into Simon Sinek's transformative book, "The Infinite Game." Get ready to challenge your mindset on leadership, competition, and the very purpose of business itself.

Support the author and our channel! Get your copy of "The Infinite Game" and start building an organization that endures:

This book presents Sinek's powerful theory of finite versus infinite mindsets in leadership and organizations. Using compelling historical and business examples, such as the Vietnam War, the evolution of Apple and Microsoft, and the ethical challenges at Wells Fargo, he illustrates the devastating consequences of short-sighted, finite thinking compared to the enduring benefits of a long-term, purpose-driven infinite approach.

The book ultimately redefines the purpose of business beyond mere profit maximization, arguing that great leaders play to endure. This is a must-listen for any leader, entrepreneur, or team member seeking to build a legacy that lasts.
