Aprendi muchas cosas sobre liderazgo y empresas, como por ejemplo:
1. La gente no compra lo QUÉ haces, sino POR QUÉ lo haces
2. Ser lider es hacer que la gente haga las cosas por convicción propia y proposito
3. Existen 2 maneras de liderar: motivando o a tráves de manipulación
4. Las grandes empresas se suelen crear por un visionario del tipo POR QUÉ y un ejecutador del tipo CÓMO
5. El exito y los logros son diferentes.
6. Un cliente fiel no es lo mismo que un cliente frecuente
7. Los clientes fieles estarán ahí incluso hasta en las malas

I really like this condensed version - mostly because I can pop it open and get a refreshing dose of WHY. And it captures the key concepts in a way that polishes the foundation of what matters. It helps keep the concepts sparkly clear in your being and daily doing.
It’s not a substitute for the in depth study of Start With Why, but fabulous notes of what you read.
