Simon Sinek “The cost of leadership is self-interest.” “Leadership is a choice. It is not a rank.” “Leaders have chosen to look out for the

person to the right of them … and to the left of them. This is what a leader is.”

“If you get the environment right, every single one of us has the capacity for these remarkable things. And more importantly, others have that capacity too.”

“The only variable we can control is the environment inside the organization. And that’s where leadership matters, because it’s the leader that sets the tone.”

Simon Sinek “When a leader makes the choice to put the

safety and the lives of the people inside the organization first – to sacrifice their comforts and sacrifice the tangible results so that people remain, and feel safe and feel like they belong – remarkable things happen.”

“The reason we like Southwest Airlines is because they don’t fear their leaders.”

“When the people feel safe and protected by the leadership in the organization, the natural reaction is to trust and cooperate.”
