“Why? Why is Apple always innovative? Year after year, it is more innovative than its competitors, even though it is just a computer company, just a computer company like other companies, it has the same experiences, the same skills, the same agencies, the same consulting and the same advertising, so why appears As if it had something different from the rest? Simon Sinek

Simon SinekHe is an American author of British origin, motivational lecturer and marketing consultant, who discovered a pattern of thinking followed by inspiring leaders, innovative inventors and pioneering companies such as "Apple", a pattern that changed his view of how things are going in this world, a pattern that is consistent with his successful followers unlike the rest of the people. ...

The idea of ​​the golden circle

Simon Sinek explains why some organizations, leaders, or companies are more capable of inspiration than others?

What - what?

All people and companies know what they are doing.

How - How?

Some of them know how to do this, whether with different bidding, different pricing, or different specifications

Why - why?

But few of them know why he is doing what he is doing

And here when we talk about “Why”, we do not mean what they do is only for profit; This is an inevitable result, but here we are talking about what is their goal? What is their cause? What is their belief? Why are they present in the labor market?

Most of the competing companies adopt their thinking strategy from outside to inside the golden circle, unlike Apple, which relies on a path that starts from inside the golden circle to outside it.

Competitors think this way:

What:

We make great phones.

How:

It is beautifully designed and easy to use.

Why:

Do you want to buy one?

 

Apple thinks like this:

Why:

Apple believes it is challenging the status quo, and is thinking differently.

How:

Apple's way to challenge is to create products that are quality and aesthetically pleasing, easy to use and easy to learn.

What:

And this just so happens to be “Apple” making great phones. Would you like to buy one?

This different way of thinking makes you buy from “Apple” and not others. Apple always starts with “why”, not “what”. People don’t buy “what.” You don’t buy great phones because they’re just great. They buy “why” you do what you do With it, people want to believe what you believe and be part of this message.

People don't buy what it does, but buy why it does what it does

The goal should not be to do business with everyone who needs what you have, but rather to do business with people who believe in what you believe in. If you do not know why you do what you do, then how do you want to be inspiring and make others believe in what you do. And this is what Apple does with us. The reason for our love for its products is not only to buy them and show them off, but because we love what you do. We love the message, service and creativity that you provide to us. It knows why it issued this product in this way, or these specifications, or With this method of use, but others do not know that.

For these reasons, "Apple" is superior to other competitors, and this is the magic "Apple" recipe.

To follow Simon Sinc's idea of ​​the golden circle:

Do you believe in what Apple is doing? Have you ever wondered what is the secret of the success of Apple without other companies?
