449 -Business Is an Infinite Game | Implications for Leaders

There’s an excellent chance you’re making shortsighted business decisions because, according to Simon Sinek (author of the New York Times bestseller The Infinite Game), you don’t know which game you’re playing. In this week’s Silver Dollar episode, we talk about the notion of the infinite game and how it doesn’t just apply to business—it also applies to the decisions we make in our daily lives. Listen to understand the difference between finite and infinite games and the dire consequences of applying the rules of the former to the latter, discover a way to think about leaving a legacy that goes beyond merely being remembered, and find out how to adopt an infinite game mindset and free yourself from being overly concerned about the opinions of others.
