Those steps are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Why<\/strong> - Why do you do what you do? What is the purpose or cause for your organization?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How<\/strong> - How do you do it? How do you execute on the what?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What<\/strong> - What do you do you and your business do? What are your features or services?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>People usually build their business from What to How and then possibly a Why. However, Sinek posits that the best leaders <em>start with why.<\/em> He says, <em>\"People don't buy what you do. They buy <strong>why<\/strong> you do it.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a leader, this plays into both the business you help build and the people you recruit. Having a strong mission will help you make better product decisions as it serves as guide posts for what you will and won't do and the standards you uphold. It will also help attract and motivate great employees who want to also work on that why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over and over in these videos, the speakers talk about <em>purpose<\/em>, and the <em>why<\/em> is the strongest form of that purpose for a company someone works at.&nbsp; Have a strong why for your business and help your people understand how they play a key part in that story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Further reading:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/getlighthouse.com\/blog\/get-buy-in-at-work-how-to\/\">How to Get Buy in at Work<\/a> and get others to take action based on your example<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe title=\"Inside the Mind of a Master Procrastinator | Tim Urban | TED\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/arj7oStGLkU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"procrastination\">6) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=arj7oStGLkU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tim Urban\u2019s: Inside the mind of a master procrastinator<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tim Urban is a hugely successful blogger known for explaining things using wry stick-figure illustrations. Even though his illustrations may seem simple, anyone who reads or listens to Urban can tell you he is an amazing storyteller. Urban also graduated from Harvard, founded a couple of companies, and even partnered with Elon Musk on his <a href=\"https:\/\/waitbutwhy.com\/2017\/04\/neuralink.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Neuralink<\/a> project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his TED Talk on the so-called \u201cInstant Gratification Monkey\u201d, Urban explains how we\u2019re all prone to losing focus and procrastinating because we want to have fun in the moment - with no regard for the past or future. Urban then goes on to give clear steps for overcoming the monkey (a metaphor for putting off things). These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Becoming aware of the fact that most of what you do is a choice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Realizing that progress comes gradually and in small increments and not trying to do too much at once.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using various methods such as setting goals you\u2019re accountable to, minimizing distractions, committing to something it\u2019s difficult to back out of, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Urban\u2019s TED Talk is great because it combines psychology, motivation, and productivity techniques and is highly relatable for anyone (and not just for serial procrastinators).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a manager, you\u2019re responsible for not only your own productivity, but also that of your team. Understanding how to help everyone procrastinate a little less and get a little more done, is well worth your time, hence the placement of this video on our list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for more resources on being productive and dealing with distractions?
