The Infinite Game (Simon Sinek)

£4.00

The Infinite Game by Simon Sinek explores how leaders and organisations can succeed by adopting an infinite mindset — focusing on long‑term purpose, resilience, and adaptability rather than finite metrics like winning, beating competitors, or short‑term targets. Sinek contrasts finite games (with clear rules, endpoints, and winners) with infinite games (ongoing challenges with evolving players and no defined end).
The book argues that businesses and leaders who prioritise courage, trust, healthy competition, and enduring values build organisations that thrive through change, innovate more deeply, and inspire loyalty. By embracing an infinite mindset, individuals and teams invest in sustainable progress, stronger relationships, and meaningful contribution rather than short‑lived victories.

  • From a GLAS Method perspective, The Infinite Game reinforces Purpose / Meaning, Environment / Context, and Relationships / Connection by encouraging long-term thinking that aligns choice, behaviour, and impact with foundational values. When leaders adopt an infinite mindset, they prioritise enduring contribution over fleeting achievements — a shift that mirrors GLAS’s emphasis on coherent, balanced engagement rather than reactive, short-term performance. This alignment fosters resilience and steadiness across life and organisational systems.

    The concept of just cause directly supports Purpose / Meaning, providing a clear compass that guides resource allocation, decision-making, and identity over time. When purpose guides action, individuals and teams avoid the energy drain caused by chasing superficial wins, reducing drift across the GLAS elements. Trusting teams and psychological safety strengthen Relationships / Connection, enabling honest dialogue, mutual support, and collaborative growth — all critical for sustained alignment and collective wellbeing.

    Additionally, an infinite mindset shapes Environment / Context by creating cultures that value learning, adaptation, and contribution over mere metrics. These contexts reduce pressure for immediate compliance and optimisation, freeing energy and attention for meaningful exploration and strategic growth. In GLAS terms, such environments amplify vitality, purpose, and relational coherence, making it easier to maintain balance over the long term rather than fragmenting under short-term stressors.
