Adopt an Infinite Mindset for Enduring Success
Simon Sinek emphasizes the transformative power of adopting an infinite mindset in leadership and business. Unlike finite games with fixed rules and clear endpoints, the infinite game is ongoing, with the goal of perpetuating the game itself. Leaders who embrace this mindset prioritize long-term purpose over short-term victories. For example, Sinek contrasts Apple and Microsoft: while Microsoft focused on outperforming competitors (finite thinking), Apple concentrated on advancing their vision to empower individuals through technology (infinite thinking). This shift in perspective fosters innovation, resilience, and lasting success. As Sinek notes, playing the infinite game means focusing on 'how to stay in the game.'
