Simon is a one of the true experts in human behavior and he knows very well how to apply it in various circumstances
This was such a smart and refreshing way to explain how new ideas really catch on! The way the speaker broke down the “law of diffusion of innovations” made it super clear why many of us struggle to get people on board with something new. Trying to convince the masses too early just leads to stress but starting with the people who already get it makes the whole process smoother and more exciting. I especially loved the example about the millennial training program. Creating demand by making it something people wanted to be part of, instead of forcing it, was brilliant. It shows how powerful it is to lead with emotion, purpose, and connection rather than pressure. This isn’t just advice for business anyone trying to make a difference in their community, workplace, or even family can learn from this. It's a great reminder that change starts with finding a few passionate people and letting their energy inspire others.
Covey's "Find your voice and help others to find theirs." 8th Habit... Time has to be flexible . Love this.
Some nuggets of gold here. If you want to convince anyone of anything, start with a point of agreement first.
YES ! The law of diffusion of innovation is a natural pattern. Microbes do it and the trigger is what we call Quorum Recognition. Early adopters enthusiasm is quorum recognition.
Thank you for reminding me to start with why! It’s what helped me grow my business at the beginning, and when I stopped my business slowed down. It really is a game changer and creates a much better dynamic with clients and prospective clients
4 ways I started creating real change by stepping up: 1. I read all books on Mindbloomery, and the mindset shift is real 2. I started by understanding the power of assertiveness. If you can't communicate clearly, you are missing out on opportunities 3. I focused on building confidence to speak up, even in challenging situations. People listen when you own your presence 4. I work on setting boundaries and staying true to my vision. Others respect you a lot more when you are clear about what you want and expect.
It works in reverse, too. When there is too much change too fast, a small group at the opposite end of the bell curve from the innovators--the extreme laggards--says, "Everything was better before." They then, through fear, convince others that change is bad. When the chasm is crossed, the tipping point leads to demolition and destruction instead of building and growing.
Excellent point! Early adopters like to overcome small barriers 👌
Thank you! AND... for new work system development, ALWAYS 1. Meet with the "owner" of the current system. 2. Give them a LOT of information, what's in it for "them", etc. AND how THEIR exisiting system inspired/ created the foundation of what you're proposing = SOLD! Otherwise, without THEM.... regardless of how effective your proposal is..... "Nope!"
Scientifically speaking, Mr. Sinek is a Genius and has a reasonable soul that understand life💜. He's an awesome Person🙏.
This is also an example of "people support what they help create". You do need to include early adopters born before 1984, amazing!
Lol, i just unplugged / replugged all audio cables trying to find a short circuit in my setup until i realized it came from the video itself 😂
In a battle of arguments, both will loose. Great contribution Simon!
This is a great example to prepare for an interview. Thank you so much Simon.
This is the wisdom that i needed so much. Having trouble all the time to convince my colleagues to switch from paper documents to digital one. No body lesson. So I'll change my approach. Tnx
I'm on the brink to do something he's talking about. I talked to my CEO, i talk to others that want to hear about my idea, they say it sounds very interesting, they see my confidence, but i urge that it needs refinement. Together. In a constructive way. I believe in it.
When I first read AI Hustle from Cryptic Lore, I realized how stuck I was in the system. It’s crazy how much it changed my perspective
Fascinating stuff. Simon is a great story teller, but also has some true valuable findings to share with us.
