Find Your Why
by Simon Sinek, David Mead and Peter Docker
The workbook companion to Start with Why: a step-by-step process for discovering your purpose statement through story-gathering with a partner, for individuals and for teams. It is practical where the original was inspirational, and the partner-interview method is genuinely useful. It assumes you bought the premise of the first book.
Read it if…
you found Start with Why inspiring and want the actual exercise.
Skip it if…
you have not read Start with Why; this book does not restate the case.
Three things you will actually use
- Your why is found in stories, not invented in abstractions.
- Use a partner; you cannot see your own patterns.
- State it as a contribution and an impact.
Do this first
Ask a colleague to interview you for an hour about moments you were proudest of; look for the thread.
Our verdict
Practical workbook; useful if you want the exercise.
