Are leaders made or born? Author and TED speaker Simon Sinek dispels myths about leadership and reveals the one thing that good leaders always get right on this episode of Inside Quest with Tom Bilyeu.

Combining aspects of biology and psychology within the context of the human condition, Simon Sinek’s unique approach to leadership has revealed surprising insights on how humans interact in business. His ideas have garnered critical acclaim around the world for their unparalleled potency and usability.

Simon’s lessons on leadership ring true, not only because he spent the better part of a decade systematically studying leaders, but because his transition from marketing consultant to evangelist for global change came as a result of a personal crisis. Having fallen out of love with the very company he created, he turned a bout with depression into a revolution of the self that has helped him become one of the most impactful voices in the world of leadership. His TED Talk on "How Great Leaders Inspire Action" is the third most viewed talk of all time on Ted.com.

Simon Sinek is also the two-time, best-selling author of "Start With Why," and "Leaders Eat Last," whose ideology has captured the imagination of some of the most important leaders of our time, including the heads of many Fortune 500 companies, the US Government, multiple branches of the military, and the United Nations. This man’s vision for the future of leadership is inspiring, and he shares his insights on this episode of Inside Quest.

In this episode:
-Responsibilities of a Leader
-Simon's story of the Vegas barista
-Measuring Trust
-Simon discusses Dunbar's Number
-Bad Business Practices of the 80's and 90's
-Simon talks about taking phones away in meetings
