📚 What We're Reading: "Start with Why" by Simon Sinek
If you're looking for a book that will inspire you to discover your purpose and lead with clarity, "Start with Why" by Simon Sinek is a must-read. In this insightful book, Sinek explores the power of purpose and how it can drive individuals and organisations to achieve extraordinary success, something we’re keen on here at Functional Excel! Through real-life examples and engaging storytelling, Sinek shows how starting with "why" rather than "what" or "how" can create a sense of purpose, inspire action, and build strong connections with others. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a leader, or simply someone seeking personal growth, this book will challenge you to rethink your approach and discover the true driving force behind your actions. Get ready to uncover your "why" and unlock your full potential.
