The Infinite Game book excerpts

  Hello everyone !! The Infinite Game is a book authored by Simon Sinek in 2018. In this excellent self-improvement book, Simon uses game theory to explore how great businesses achieve long-lasting success. In life there are finite and infinite games. Finite games have set rules, players and a start and finish line. Infinite games are games in which the rules and parameters can change every minute, with no finish line in sight. As Simon explains, business, and so many other areas of life, are  infinite games.  When players look only for wins in the short term - be it to exit strategies, austere spending targets or arbitrary performance metrics, the player inevitably loses. He outlines how the only way to build truly long-term value, enduring growth and dedicated, motivated people, is by playing with an  infinite mindset  - by playing  The Infinite Game. The 3 Factors for Leading with the Infinite Mindset : (Pg #23-24) We don't get to choose whether a...
