“Most of us prefer to believe we are the active subjects of our victories but only the passive objects of our defeats. We triumph, but it is not really we who fail – we are ruined by forces beyond our control.”
-Hernan Diaz, Trust
The simplest manner or objective is that winning is what matters most in the game when a player competes with another player.
A game exists only when there are two or more players who compete with each other, but there is only one player who is declared to be a winner.
That’s a finite game.
But we live in a world that is an Infinite Game because the objective of this game is to continue to play.
When a player plays the infinite game with a finite mindset the unsurprising results are the decline of trust.
Simon Sinek explains it in depth in his book, The Infinite Game, in which he gets the idea from Dr. James P. Carse.
Companies, government agencies, and public entities are players that compete against other entities in their industries.
Those people who want to win to have more money than they get, even if it’s unethical or worse, corrupt stealing are doing so because they are finite players.
The Infinite Game is the greater good for the future on how we make tomorrow better than yesterday.
Finite player want only what they have to get on their own. They are like selfish managers.
Infinite Players sacrifice what they need to sacrifice. They dare to lead, because they know that it’s bigger than themselves, and they are real leaders.
