When we share values and beliefs with others, we form trust. (src: Book_ Start With Why - Simon Sinek p88 )

only when individuals can trust the culture or organisation will they take personal risks in order to advance that culture or organisation as a whole. For no other reason than, in the end, it's good for their own personal health and survival. (Book_ Start With Why - Simon Sinek p104)

(5:45) If you ever made a friend, you know Whys are compatible Tribal connection Not all other people What if you’re not in a position of authority, but you can clearly see the why?
