TEDxSanDiego - Simon Sinek - Restoring the Human in Humanity

The greatest challenge any organization faces is success says Simon Sinek. As organizations grow, inevitably they reach "The Split," a point when what the organization does gets separated from why it does it. When this happens the emphasis on making money increases along with the stress level. At the same time, passion and trust decrease. Simon calls on us to make "handshake friends," engage in "handshake dialogues," and build "handshake businesses." In this way, we can return to valuing human relationships and get back to a place where trust becomes the standard, not the exception. About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
