When it comes to making critical decisions in business and politics, leaders have the option to make two types of decisions, they can opt to get the most rewards in the short term and judge their success by arbitrary metrics or they can instead make plans based not solely on profit or political victory but rather for advancing a just cause.
The former approach to leadership is dubbed playing the game of life with a finite mindset while the latter is l the very definition of having an infinite mindset. Extensive research in the lives of top leaders in all facets of the global communities prove that almost all of them operate and make decisions with an infinite mindset and prioritize longterm prosperity of their vision and furthering of a cause over short term wins and losses.
Ultimately leaders are not responsible for the results, rather they are responsible for the people who are responsible for the results and for this exact reason they need to be concerned with their people first and doing so will allow them to make more ethical decisions. Also thinking long term ironically leads to better overall metrics, be it the revenue or the votes, and being concerned with a big cause and committed to advancing a cause is what also bring about the best results since it brings the best in the people that a leader is responsible for.
Having read the book the Infinite Game by Simon Sinek I not only recommend it to all leaders and entrepreneurs but also encourage you to start making more decisions with an infinite mindset so that we all can enjoy living in a better world tasked with advancing a cause for the greater good and building a magnificent future!
