THE VIRTUOUS CIRCLE
Primal Virtue Leadership hinges on two elemental forces. First, an undeniable passion to accomplish an intrinsically meaningful purpose; and secondly, the ability to engage others in finding common cause and unite their strengths to achieve this greater good.
Primal will get it done; however, it's Virtue (or purpose) that makes it worth doing. It starts with the 'why'.
In this enlightening talk about what he calls the golden circle, Simon Sinek, bestselling author of Start With Why, shows us how knowing the 'why' makes all the difference in the world.
