Forget winning or losing. Bestselling author and leadership expert Simon Sinek says the most important thing is to determine what kind of game you’re playing. For example, baseball is a finite game—a game with known players, fixed rules and an agreed-upon objective. Business, on the other hand, is an infinite game: The rules are changeable, there is no set finish line, and no one wins. And if that isn’t complicated enough, Simon warns that if you approach business with a finite mind-set, the consequences are disastrous. Tune in to learn the five things you need to have in order to prevent disaster and successfully navigate the infinite game of business.
