    About this audiobook

    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.

      Let me level with you, internet: I got this book because I thought it was going to be about game theory. And it kinda sorta is, indirectly, and without actually mentioning the term. (The concept is derived from a book by James P. Carse, which *is* about game theory.) But it is... I guess, applied game theory. The summary version is that, you can only "win" a game that has a beginning, ending, and rules that are known and predefined. When in fact, life is more like Calvinball (a reference sadly not made in the book) - if you learn how to play the game, you understand that when you stop trying to win, is when you start winning.

      In The Infinite Game, Simon Sinek shows how we improve our mindset and results when we realize how much of our activities are repeated scenarios. In finite games, there’s a final winner and a final loser. However, most of our business and personal lives involve ongoing relationships with the same people – effectively an infinite series of interactions (which in game theory, are games). Businesses that think in terms of infinite games (think Mayo Clinic or Southwest) define themselves by their purpose and tend to last much longer. Businesses that think in terms of the finite next game (think EpiPen or failed financial firms) often sacrifice their future for their short term results. With co-workers and even coopetitors, we’re in an infinite game together where shared purpose and teamwork will make us all bigger winners. Sinek gives us hope that we can all work for a bigger cause, be more emotionally satisfied, and consider trust within a team to be at least as important as performance.

      Really great. Lots of stories to back up author’s central thesis that organizations that play to further their “just cause” perform much better in the long run than organizations that bow to the pressures of short term rewards. Highly recommended.

      First heard about infinite game from Seth Godin, then read Carse's book which was the foundation. This book is inspiring with examples though it's still mostly a business book.

    • 5/5
      Very inspiring, it is based on the principle that you work to keep good causes alive (infinite) and how short term thinking affects negatively theses causes, then he proceeds to present his ideas in how to keep these causes perpetuating for ever. Basically an idealist and pretty nice leadership book.
