Simon is an unshakable optimist. He believes in a bright future and our ability to build it together.
Described as “a visionary thinker with a rare intellect,” Simon has devoted his professional life to help advance a vision of the world that does not yet exist; a world in which the vast majority of people wake up every single morning inspired, feel safe wherever they are and end the day fulfilled by the work that they do.
Simon is the author of multiple best-selling books including Start With Why, Leaders Eat Last, Together is Better, and The Infinite Game.

*Boeing:* None of our financial gains was immoral enough to fall under the criminal code and only very few people had the pay a price compared to the amount of money we made in the process.
(I read _Leaders eat last_ before the Boeing scandal came out. The thing that upset me the most was how well the _What will go wrong when you do X_ section of _Leaders eat last_ matched what happened at Boeing)

[@ShuToshio]

So we could just say that as a sports team, or even an individual, we want to win the championship in 2 years. We find the players we need, train them (or ourselves), and do all the things we need to do to win.
Even if we don't win in two years, and say we didn't get a bunch of injuries, are we much better than we were two years ago? Is the culture of the team better?
Sports work just fine save for many some of the $$$ amounts. Meaning, that we can ask professional athletes to self-motivate and do what they need to do to get better, and act like they enjoy their work because often they are paid MILLIONS.
Most of us are getting paid thousands and a much larger percentage of our incomes is required to live even "median" lifestyles.

Michael Jordan never lost a game, he just ran out of time. The game was too finite for His Airness.

[@josephludwig1126]

Michael was NOT an average player, he also was not truthful.

[@shaneroymitchell]

We over use sports analogies in business. Begins to use a marathon as an analogy.

[@pavelhaninec203]

That was the example of overusing sports analogies....
