  1. this "midset" only works in business where you have a employee base that is doing their jobs just maybe not to a degree that you wish them to, none of this is transferrable to blue collar, tadesppl, operators who dont perform their duties legally, im sure this works great if your white collar and wanne build your team, but for a business that has management at shop and 30 ppl going into the field everyday where they are working unsafe, wont follow rules , wont foolow procedure, wont even follow laws in how they are suposed to operate all of this is useless, if you fire everyone that doesnt do the job and then hire ppl who actually do then his leadership skills come into effect, but when coming into an environment where employees dont listen and dont car and upper management forbids you from disciplining bad behaviour none of this is relevant

  2. "No such thing as a natural-born leader"? Obviously you weren't one of them. That's like saying there's no such thing as a natural-born singer or athlete or artist. The concept that you can't get a talent or skill for free is a big fail.🤦🏾‍♂️

  3. Great episode, you explain infinite-minded leadership really well! Simon's point on undoing Jack Welch's legacy and prioritizing human skills over egos really resonates similar shifts we're working toward in our Happiness Squad.

  4. i had to watch this as part of a school assignment, generally a conversation i'd have no interest in, but Simon is genuinely funny and has such a great and unique perspective on management and people as a whole

  5. Infinite-minded leadership is so crucial for fostering a positive work culture. Prioritizing people and vulnerability can truly drive loyalty and innovation within teams.

  6. Everything was going well with the interview. The points about integrity, empathy, teamwork, and leadership were valuable and based on real experiences.

    However, one mistake stood out to me as a leader: throwing an item to someone. He could have simply handed it back the same way it was given to him. It’s a small action, but actions matter, especially in leadership.

    For me, that was not the right example to set. Doing that in front of students sends the wrong message. If you are teaching students how to become leaders, your behavior should reflect the values you are promoting.

    Leadership is not only about what you say; it is also about what you do. Students learn as much from a leader’s actions as they do from their words.

  7. Is it good to advertise your vision or dream? Does it matter if we say our vision/dream? Will it make a diffrence if it will come true? Thank you, leadership makes more sence after watching the video.

  8. This host is one of the more annoying ones. He always finds a way to make it about him or his story or his company. A bit sad that because of all his talking, we have less insights from Simon on this video.

  9. I completely understand & agree with this narration on leadership.
    I've been in leadership positions, sat among leadership in meetings etc.. & an entrepreneurial experience. Business, production rate, team cohesion, employees turnover, retention etc.. does & will determine how well of a leader or leadership when in such position, whether it succeeds or fails.
    Very valid points when speaking of such subject.
    Thank you for tutorial

  10. The check check was his expansion of knowledge into multiple domains.

    This highlights our collective dominance in actions to be polite and encourage a slight tap of communication between teams at times.

    The Tap was highly important but unacknowledged, the eye contact with staff after his apposition technical malfunction or disturbance, and overall courteous behavior, which is especially prominent after the mic got checked within about five seconds was an important theme of discussion.

    This Presenter was nice and friendly, and it was overall a good experience for the sound crew and viewers.

  11. I will be 63 this year. I have always given 150%. I work for a gigantic entertainment company. I have never been unemployed since I was 13. This year, 1 week before Thanksgiving, they told 3 of us that they were going to put us on a rotating furlough – work 2 weeks and take a week unpaid. Almost nobody else in our section of the company had to do this and keep in mind, we are people who produce income for the company, not support people. This only lasted 2 rounds (only had to take 2 weeks off without pay). They just lost a loyal employee who had given them everything, just so that they could get their bonuses at the end of the year. Now, I had investments and savings, it wasn’t the end of the world for me, but they just showed me my worth – especially since I am surrounded by a number of people who aren’t even good at their jobs and they have been here for 20 or more years and I’m cleaning up their messes everyday. I am now in a sort of quiet quitting mode – not that I won’t give 100% but no more above and beyond. No more covering for others’ incompetence. That is short-sighted, my friend.

  12. Thank you, Simon. In settings like healthcare and executive leadership, the biggest shift isn’t in the system, it’s in mindset. The infinite mindset changes how we treat staff, setbacks, and success. It turns yesterday’s finish line into tomorrow’s journey. Grateful for this depth.

    Dr. Jeff
