In Chapter 12 of 23 in his 2013 Capture Your Flag interview, author and public speaker Simon Sinek answers "What Did You Learn in Your First Job After College That is Still Relevant Today?" Sinek shares how he learned not to manage people while working at his first job after college. He works for a boss who focuses on the negative and chooses to point out team member weaknesses and not strengths. Sinek finds the experience demotivating and over time learns that the opposite approach - treating people with respect, showing empathy, focusing on strengths, and pairing people with complementary skills - is a better way to manage teams. Simon Sinek teaches leaders and organizations how to inspire people. Sinek is the author of two books, "Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Come Together and Others Don't" and "Start With Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action". He is a public speaker, an adjunct professor at Columbia University and a Brandeis University graduate.

Spot on. The best managers are indeed like good parents who give you constructive feedback, support, respect and always have your best interests in mind.

love these interviews! really enjoying listening to someone who believes what I believe

Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. We can all learn from one another some capacity. I've learned a lot from you already. Empathy is quite a great feeling.

You are the best Simon... Easy to understand..

My recap: 1. Don't berate employees, respect them. 2. Be honest and empathetic, even when giving corrective feedback. 3. Guard your employees and have clear expectations for them to guard your interests.
