Greetings!
I’m thankful for the break and time spent with friends. It was a reflective weekend.
Here’s my reading highlight:
The Infinite Game by Simon Sinek
4 stars
Wow! I had to take a moment. This book honestly, felt like an affirmation of my inner thoughts.
I was always puzzled about why some companies didn’t prioritise survival (as evident from their actions), which I felt was the most important, and were always focused on the short term gains. Sinek has elaborated this idea and provided significant evidence, with the notion that businesses are and should be engaged with as an infinite game.
The book gave me quite a lot of peace around my frustration with what work is and how it is performed today. I’m relieved I’m not the only one who thinks this way, and I definitely learned a lot:
- We need a bias for will over performance across a company
- Feelings are at the heart of trusting teams and building high performance teams
- Psychological trust amongst employees is as important as technical/physical trust
- Be cautious of self-deception
- Don’t use a process to replace judgement
