Description

From the New York Times bestselling author of Start With Why and Leaders Eat Last, a bold framework for leadership in today’s ever-changing world. How do we win a game that has no end? Finite games, like football or chess, have known players, fixed rules and a clear endpoint. The winners and losers are easily identified. Infinite games, games with no finish line, like business or politics, or life itself, have players who come and go. The rules of an infinite game are changeable while infinite games have no defined endpoint. There are no winners or losers—only ahead and behind. The question is, how do we play to succeed in the game we’re in? In this revelatory new book, Simon Sinek offers a framework for leading with an infinite mindset. On one hand, none of us can resist the fleeting thrills of a promotion earned or a tournament won, yet these rewards fade quickly. In pursuit of a Just Cause, we will commit to a vision of a future world so appealing that we will build it week after week, month after month, year after year. Although we do not know the exact form this world will take, working toward it gives our work and our life meaning. Leaders who embrace an infinite mindset build stronger, more innovative, more inspiring organizations. Ultimately, they are the ones who lead us into the future. Read more

    • IN BUSINESS, POLITICS, AND LIFE, TOO MANY OF US ARE PLAYING THE WRONG GAME
It's not often that I encounter a book which presents me with an idea which is completely new to me. (I'm looking at you, Malcolm Gladwell!) I realize it will not be new to everyone, but I imagine it will be new to a great many people. Here is the basic concept: There are two types of games, the finite game and the infinite game. The finite game is easy to visualize; it's what takes place when kids sit down to play a game of Monopoly. There are specific players, set rules, and (at least in theory) a definite endpoint. The infinite game is more complex. As I understand it, players can drift in and out, be known or unknown; rules are in a state of flux; and there is no clear endpoint. Most important of all, you can not “win” the infinite game. You can not “win” marriage. Or friendship. Or careers. Or even life itself. The point of the infinite game is to look beyond the immediate finite game that can be won (who has the better product or higher sales this quarter) and instead focus on a long-term cause that can make the world a better place. Well written, smooth read. BOTTOM LINE: While it's largely a business book, it should be mandatory reading for leaders of every ilk. Readjusting focus would make the world a better place. ... show more

    • Good but framing is questionable
I have enjoyed Simon’s contributions to society a great deal. The concept of an infinite game versus finite is interesting. It’s a terrific idealistic framework, but a bit naive. The book would have been better timed had it been written and published 20 years ago. Rather than use an “either/or” choice, as in either you are infinite or you are not, the reality today is that generally businesses today are an “and” as in infinite and finite. Jeff Bezos provides a good example. Other companies I work with use an “and” approach in serving all stakeholders interests. ... show more

    • Great book!
The concept of finite vs infinite games was introduced by religious scholar James P. Carse. In reality we are all familiar with the concept. We have all heard before that life is a marathon, not a sprint. We are all well aware that those who achieve extraordinary things typically follow non conventional paths modeled after a Hero's Journey. Starting from this premise, Simon Sinek's main contribution is to setup a framework to help you keep playing (remember you cannot win an infinite game) at the infinite game of life, supported with very illuminating examples from both past and present companies and entrepreneurs. The book is likely to resonate more with people like me who always understood life intuitively this way, but struggled to articulate this understanding in clear and concise terms. Those addicted to winning and scoring -people like Steve Ballmer- probably won't find the book as appealing. ... show more

    • Gave me a whole new mental model / set of lenses to see through
Simon nails it here. What's most powerful about this book, to me, is that he establishes a framework and lexicon to explain something that has been in the background for far too long. Read this immediately, and let us all be the leaders we wish we had.

    • It helps me a lot as a peacebuilder
As a professional peacebuilder, I read anything that involves infinite games, because that's what peacebuilding is. As Sinek argues, infinite games have no winners and losers because there is no "end state." One's goal is to keep the game going and get better along the way. No book gets at this better, especially his emphasis on having a "just cause," building teams that trust each other, learning from your "worthy rivals," being flexible, and displaying the courage to lead. This is also a fun book to read because it is filled with neat examples to go along with Sinek's wonderful ideas. ... show more

    • A very informative and inspiring book!
A book I think everyone should read to be more caring and responsible beings. Personally, I really enjoyed this book because it helped me understand why some of the pieces of my life weren't fitting together properly and some of the hard choices I will have to make on the path to changing my mindset. I enjoyed that the writer gave many real examples of how not having an infinite mindset can cause companies to fail which made it easy for the reader to relate. Working in the financial industry where the focus is very much on sales, deadlines and the bottomline, I'm hoping I can build the courage to recommend this book to my CEO lol. While briefly, it also showed how an infinite mindset can be applied to parenting and the sometimes very high expectations we have for our kids; I appreciated hearing this being a new mom. Only thing left to say is buy the book and be open minded when reading it and hopefully you enjoy it as much as I did. Thanks Simon Sinek for having the courage and mindset to write this book and I'm expecting sequels as you continue to play the infinite game :). ... show more

    • Focus on the just cause and your people, and you will always get it right
The infinite game resonated with me. I enjoyed Simon's previous books, but addressing the leadership impact of a short vs. a long term vision, made me question what I want for my life, and is why I enjoyed this book a lot. I am a big supporter of coaching and focusing on the employees first as a mean of making the customers happy and of course, the company successful. Still, sometimes, with the busy lives we have, we forget about what is important vs. what is not. Investing in the people we manage is always a winning strategy. I enjoyed the examples of companies that applied an infinite mindset vs. the ones that did not. If I were to suggest an improvement, it will be that I would have loved to see more examples, specifically in companies related to technology. With this book, Simon pushed me back on track, and I am looking forward to applying what I learned in this book on a daily basis; hence, I thoroughly recommend this book. It will be useful to have a list of the companies that follow an infinite mindset to know where to look for new opportunities :-). ... show more
