"As we get more senior in our career, do we feel inspired? Do we feel fulfilled?" Building a career with an infinite mindset is about more than going up the ranks, says Simon Sinek. He talks to LinkedIn editor Isabelle Roughol about his own mission statement and the red thread that guides a fulfilling career. What's your own just cause or personal mission statement?

I would say that my own cause will be to impact the world around me in such a way that even the smallest or lowest amongst us can benefit. Growing up in Nigeria, I was always intrigued by the concept of large corporations and the kind of work that they did and I wondered how such decisions were reached and who made them? More importantly, I wondered who advised the people that made these decisions. This is because at the end of the day, such decisions impact not only how long it takes me to get to school but also the kind of snacks in my lunchbox, the kind of program I watch on TV, the way I access the world etc So I found myself on this legal path but now, having grown up a little, I see that most of these decision makers have not just humans influencing them but also machines and data generated from these machines. Technology is beginning to play a more active role in the way these far reaching decisions are made and it just intrigues me. Being able to play a part, albeit a tiny one in helping organizations and businesses reach informed decisions today, mindful of the huge impact of technology in how these decisions are reached and utilizing same to my advantage is my infinite cause.
Nice !
Anyone can be a leader, regardless of the role you are in today and, everyone can be become better leaders. First, find your WHY!
YES!
The finite mindset gives many people the ability to gain knowledge and experience on the way up that ladder. We can only hope that they pull their head out and open it up to become an infinite one once they find the satisfaction of the climb wane. Then, the infinite mindset enables us to then gain some clarity around our purpose and take the knowledge and experience we have gained and do more with it than amass wealth. Tribal cultures did this well and revered the elders for their wisdom and experience.
I am inspired and fulfilled by being a part of collective that continually learns from and serves one another. Open minds, open hearts. Thanks Simon for the many insights.
To mentor as many people as I possibly can, younger or older, in order to help them maximize their known and yet realized potential.
More good stuff Simon Sinek!
