3.     Simon Sinek, Start with Why – “Very, very few people or organizations know why they do what they do. And by "why" I don't mean, "to make a profit." That's a result.  By "why," I mean: What's your purpose? What's your cause? What's your belief? Why does your organization exist? Why do you get out of bed in the morning? And why should anyone care?” http://www.ted.com/talks/simon_sinek_how_great_leaders_inspire_action.html
