How to help people flourish

Are leaders made or born? Author and TED speaker Simon Sinek dispels myths about leadership and reveals the one thing that good leaders always get right on this episode of Inside Quest with Tom Bilyeu. Combining aspects of biology and psychology within the context of the human condition, Simon Sinek's unique approach to leadership has revealed surprising insights on how humans interact in business.

A friend sent me this YouTube clip which is an EXCELLENT resource for leaders. It is about creating an environment where people can flourish. There is a section on leading Millennials (people born since 1984) which is really helpful. You can jump between the topics listed on the bottom.

Although Simon seems to imply that moral behaviour is a consequence of the environment; most of what he says has strong biblical foundations: we are social beings, our focus should be on loving/caring for those around us, we should be vulnerable about our mistakes and our need for help, the importance of work, and needing to develop meaningful relationships, as well as learning patience. 

When we understand how people were created to be, we are better able to lead effectively.
