Book Club Aha’s — Vol. 5
The FRAKXION Book Club gets together to dig into a book, build on each other’s interpretations, and pull out the aha’s that actually change how we work.
For this round, we spent our time with Simon Sinek’s The Infinite Game — and by the end, our discussion board was covered in sticky notes.
The Book
The Infinite Game by Simon Sinek offers a framework for leading with an infinite mindset. None of us can resist the fleeting thrills of a promotion earned or a tournament won, yet those rewards fade quickly. In pursuit of a Just Cause, we commit to a vision of a future world so appealing that we build it week after week, month after month, year after year — and working toward it is what gives our work and our life meaning.
Our Aha Moments
– Finite-minded leaders play to win; infinite-minded leaders play to keep playing and build organizations for the greater good.
– The goal is not to win the game of life, but to perpetuate it and leave a positive impact on others.
– Courageous leadership means choosing impact over popularity.
– The ability for any organization to build new leaders from within is essential to its durability.
– Find worthy rivals that can make you better.
– In weak cultures, people find safety in the rules.
