Simon Sinek: ‘A Visionary Thinker with a Rare Intellect’ to Keynote at NAFA I&E
The more people you inspire, the more people will inspire you. That’s the central tenet behind Simon Sinek’s vision of a successful organization. Sinek, a best-selling author who teaches leaders and organizations how to inspire people, has been described as a “visionary thinker with a rare intellect.” Hundreds of fleet managers from throughout North America will get the opportunity to take in his wisdom during a Keynote Address at NAFA’s 2014 Institute & Expo in Minneapolis, MN on April 10.
“I imagine a world where people wake up every day inspired to go to work and return home at the end of the day feeling fulfilled by the work they do, feeling that they have contributed to something greater than themselves,” said Sinek.
