1
How do you explain when things don't go as we assume?
2
Or better, how do you explain when others are able to achieve things that seem to defy all of the assumptions?
3
For example: Why is Apple so innovative?
4
Year after year, after year, they're more innovative than all their competition.
5
And yet, they're just a computer company.
6
They're just like everyone else.
7
They have the same access to the same talent, the same agencies, the same consultants, the same media.
8
Then why is it that they seem to have something different?
9
Why is it that Martin Luther King led the Civil Rights Movement?
10
He wasn't the only man who suffered in pre-civil rights America, and he certainly wasn't the only great orator of the day.
11
Why him? And why is it that the Wright brothers were able to figure out controlled, powered man flight when there were certainly other teams who were better qualified, better funded -- and they didn't achieve powered man flight, and the Wright brothers beat them to it.
12
There's something else at play here.
13
About three and a half years ago, I made a discovery.
14
And this discovery profoundly changed my view on how I thought the world worked, and it even profoundly changed the way in which I operate in it.
15
As it turns out, there's a pattern.
16
As it turns out, all the great inspiring leaders and organizations in the world, whether it's Apple or Martin Luther King or the Wright brothers, they all think, act and communicate the exact same way.
17
And it's the complete opposite to everyone else.
18
All I did was codify it, and it's probably the world's simplest idea.
19
I call it the golden circle.
20
Why? How? What?
21
This little idea explains why some organizations and some leaders are able to inspire where others aren't.
22
Let me define the terms really quickly.
23
Every single person, every single organization on the planet knows what they do, 100 percent.
24
Some know how they do it, whether you call it your differentiated value proposition or your proprietary process or your USP.
25
But very, very few people or organizations know why they do what they do.
26
And by "why" I don't mean "to make a profit." That's a result. It's always a result.
27
By "why," I mean: What's your purpose?
28
What's your cause? What's your belief?
29
Why does your organization exist?
30
Why do you get out of bed in the morning?
31
And why should anyone care?
32
As a result, the way we think, we act, the way we communicate is from the outside in, it's obvious.
33
We go from the clearest thing to the fuzziest thing.
34
But the inspired leaders and the inspired organizations -- regardless of their size, regardless of their industry -- all think, act and communicate from the inside out.
35
Let me give you an example.
36
I use Apple because they're easy to understand and everybody gets it.
37
If Apple were like everyone else, a marketing message from them might sound like this: "We make great computers.
38
They're beautifully designed, simple to use and user friendly.
39
Want to buy one?" "Meh." That's how most of us communicate.
40
That's how most marketing and sales are done, that's how we communicate interpersonally.
41
We say what we do, we say how we're different or better and we expect some sort of a behavior, a purchase, a vote, something like that.
42
Here's our new law firm: We have the best lawyers with the biggest clients, we always perform for our clients.
43
Here's our new car: It gets great gas mileage, it has leather seats.
44
Buy our car.
45
But it's uninspiring.
46
Here's how Apple actually communicates.
47
"Everything we do, we believe in challenging the status quo.
48
We believe in thinking differently.
49
The way we challenge the status quo is by making our products beautifully designed, simple to use and user friendly.
50
We just happen to make great computers.
51
Want to buy one?" Totally different, right?
52
You're ready to buy a computer from me.
53
I just reversed the order of the information.
54
What it proves to us is that people don't buy what you do; people buy why you do it.
55
This explains why every single person in this room is perfectly comfortable buying a computer from Apple.
56
But we're also perfectly comfortable buying an MP3 player from Apple, or a phone from Apple, or a DVR from Apple.
57
As I said before, Apple's just a computer company.
58
Nothing distinguishes them structurally from any of their competitors.
59
Their competitors are equally qualified to make all of these products.
60
In fact, they tried.
61
A few years ago, Gateway came out with flat-screen TVs.
62
They're eminently qualified to make flat-screen TVs.
63
They've been making flat-screen monitors for years.
64
Nobody bought one.
65
Dell came out with MP3 players and PDAs, and they make great quality products, and they can make perfectly well-designed products -- and nobody bought one.
66
In fact, talking about it now, we can't even imagine buying an MP3 player from Dell.
67
Why would you buy one from a computer company?
68
But we do it every day.
69
People don't buy what you do; they buy why you do it.
70
The goal is not to do business with everybody who needs what you have.
71
The goal is to do business with people who believe what you believe.
72
Here's the best part: None of what I'm telling you is my opinion.
73
It's all grounded in the tenets of biology.
74
Not psychology, biology.
75
If you look at a cross-section of the human brain, from the top down, the human brain is actually broken into three major components that correlate perfectly with the golden circle.
76
Our newest brain, our Homo sapien brain, our neocortex, corresponds with the "what" level.
77
The neocortex is responsible for all of our rational and analytical thought and language.
78
The middle two sections make up our limbic brains, and our limbic brains are responsible for all of our feelings, like trust and loyalty.
79
It's also responsible for all human behavior, all decision-making, and it has no capacity for language.
80
In other words, when we communicate from the outside in, yes, people can understand vast amounts of complicated information like features and benefits and facts and figures.
81
It just doesn't drive behavior.
82
When we can communicate from the inside out, we're talking directly to the part of the brain that controls behavior, and then we allow people to rationalize it with the tangible things we say and do.
83
This is where gut decisions come from.
84
Sometimes you can give somebody all the facts and figures, and they say, "I know what all the facts and details say, but it just doesn't feel right." Why would we use that verb, it doesn't "feel" right?
85
Because the part of the brain that controls decision-making doesn't control language.
86
The best we can muster up is, "I don't know. It just doesn't feel right." Or sometimes you say you're leading with your heart or soul.
87
I hate to break it to you, those aren't other body parts controlling your behavior.
88
It's all happening here in your limbic brain, the part of the brain that controls decision-making and not language.
89
But if you don't know why you do what you do, and people respond to why you do what you do, then how will you ever get people to vote for you, or buy something from you, or, more importantly, be loyal and want to be a part of what it is that you do.
90
The goal is not just to sell to people who need what you have; the goal is to sell to people who believe what you believe.
91
The goal is not just to hire people who need a job; it's to hire people who believe what you believe.
92
I always say that, you know, if you hire people just because they can do a job, they'll work for your money, but if they believe what you believe, they'll work for you with blood and sweat and tears.
93
Nowhere else is there a better example than with the Wright brothers.
94
Most people don't know about Samuel Pierpont Langley.
95
And back in the early 20th century, the pursuit of powered man flight was like the dot com of the day.
96
Everybody was trying it.
97
And Samuel Pierpont Langley had, what we assume, to be the recipe for success.
98
Even now, you ask people, "Why did your product or why did your company fail?" and people always give you the same permutation of the same three things: under-capitalized, the wrong people, bad market conditions.
99
It's always the same three things, so let's explore that.
100
Samuel Pierpont Langley was given 50,000 dollars by the War Department to figure out this flying machine.
101
Money was no problem.
102
He held a seat at Harvard and worked at the Smithsonian and was extremely well-connected; he knew all the big minds of the day.
103
He hired the best minds money could find and the market conditions were fantastic.
104
The New York Times followed him around everywhere, and everyone was rooting for Langley.
105
Then how come we've never heard of Samuel Pierpont Langley?
106
A few hundred miles away in Dayton, Ohio, Orville and Wilbur Wright, they had none of what we consider to be the recipe for success.
107
They had no money; they paid for their dream with the proceeds from their bicycle shop.
108
Not a single person on the Wright brothers' team had a college education, not even Orville or Wilbur.
109
And The New York Times followed them around nowhere.
110
The difference was, Orville and Wilbur were driven by a cause, by a purpose, by a belief.
111
They believed that if they could figure out this flying machine, it'll change the course of the world.
112
Samuel Pierpont Langley was different.
113
He wanted to be rich, and he wanted to be famous.
114
He was in pursuit of the result.
115
He was in pursuit of the riches.
116
And lo and behold, look what happened.
117
The people who believed in the Wright brothers' dream worked with them with blood and sweat and tears.
118
The others just worked for the paycheck.
119
They tell stories of how every time the Wright brothers went out, they would have to take five sets of parts, because that's how many times they would crash before supper.
120
And, eventually, on December 17th, 1903, the Wright brothers took flight, and no one was there to even experience it.
121
We found out about it a few days later.
122
And further proof that Langley was motivated by the wrong thing: the day the Wright brothers took flight, he quit.
123
He could have said, "That's an amazing discovery, guys, and I will improve upon your technology," but he didn't.
124
He wasn't first, he didn't get rich, he didn't get famous, so he quit.
125
People don't buy what you do; they buy why you do it.
126
If you talk about what you believe, you will attract those who believe what you believe.
127
But why is it important to attract those who believe what you believe?
128
Something called the law of diffusion of innovation, if you don't know the law, you know the terminology.
129
The first 2.5% of our population are our innovators.
130
The next 13.5% of our population are our early adopters.
131
The next 34% are your early majority, your late majority and your laggards.
132
The only reason these people buy touch-tone phones is because you can't buy rotary phones anymore.
133
(Laughter) We all sit at various places at various times on this scale, but what the law of diffusion of innovation tells us is that if you want mass-market success or mass-market acceptance of an idea, you cannot have it until you achieve this tipping point between 15 and 18 percent market penetration, and then the system tips.
134
I love asking businesses, "What's your conversion on new business?" They love to tell you, "It's about 10 percent," proudly.
135
Well, you can trip over 10% of the customers.
136
We all have about 10% who just "get it." That's how we describe them, right?
137
That's like that gut feeling, "Oh, they just get it." The problem is: How do you find the ones that get it before doing business versus the ones who don't get it?
138
So it's this here, this little gap that you have to close, as Jeffrey Moore calls it, "Crossing the Chasm" -- because, you see, the early majority will not try something until someone else has tried it first.
139
And these guys, the innovators and the early adopters, they're comfortable making those gut decisions.
140
They're more comfortable making those intuitive decisions that are driven by what they believe about the world and not just what product is available.
141
These are the people who stood in line for six hours to buy an iPhone when they first came out, when you could have bought one off the shelf the next week.
142
These are the people who spent 40,000 dollars on flat-screen TVs when they first came out, even though the technology was substandard.
143
And, by the way, they didn't do it because the technology was so great; they did it for themselves.
144
It's because they wanted to be first.
145
People don't buy what you do; they buy why you do it and what you do simply proves what you believe.
146
In fact, people will do the things that prove what they believe.
147
The reason that person bought the iPhone in the first six hours, stood in line for six hours, was because of what they believed about the world, and how they wanted everybody to see them: they were first.
148
People don't buy what you do; they buy why you do it.
149
So let me give you a famous example, a famous failure and a famous success of the law of diffusion of innovation.
150
First, the famous failure.
151
It's a commercial example.
152
As we said before, the recipe for success is money and the right people and the right market conditions.
153
You should have success then.
154
Look at TiVo.
155
From the time TiVo came out about eight or nine years ago to this current day, they are the single highest-quality product on the market, hands down, there is no dispute.
156
They were extremely well-funded.
157
Market conditions were fantastic.
158
I mean, we use TiVo as verb.
159
I TiVo stuff on my piece-of-junk Time Warner DVR all the time.
160
(Laughter) But TiVo's a commercial failure.
161
They've never made money.
162
And when they went IPO, their stock was at about 30 or 40 dollars and then plummeted, and it's never traded above 10.
163
In fact, I don't think it's even traded above six, except for a couple of little spikes.
164
Because you see, when TiVo launched their product, they told us all what they had.
165
They said, "We have a product that pauses live TV, skips commercials, rewinds live TV and memorizes your viewing habits without you even asking." And the cynical majority said, "We don't believe you.
166
We don't need it. We don't like it.
167
You're scaring us." What if they had said, "If you're the kind of person who likes to have total control over every aspect of your life, boy, do we have a product for you.
168
It pauses live TV, skips commercials, memorizes your viewing habits, etc., etc." People don't buy what you do; they buy why you do it, and what you do simply serves as the proof of what you believe.
169
Now let me give you a successful example of the law of diffusion of innovation.
170
In the summer of 1963, 250,000 people showed up on the mall in Washington to hear Dr. King speak.
171
They sent out no invitations, and there was no website to check the date.
172
How do you do that?
173
Well, Dr. King wasn't the only man in America who was a great orator.
174
He wasn't the only man in America who suffered in a pre-civil rights America.
175
In fact, some of his ideas were bad.
176
But he had a gift.
177
He didn't go around telling people what needed to change in America.
178
He went around and told people what he believed.
179
"I believe, I believe, I believe," he told people.
180
And people who believed what he believed took his cause, and they made it their own, and they told people.
181
And some of those people created structures to get the word out to even more people.
182
And lo and behold, 250,000 people showed up on the right day at the right time to hear him speak.
183
How many of them showed up for him?
184
Zero. They showed up for themselves.
185
It's what they believed about America that got them to travel in a bus for eight hours to stand in the sun in Washington in the middle of August.
186
It's what they believed, and it wasn't about black versus white: 25% of the audience was white.
187
Dr. King believed that there are two types of laws in this world: those that are made by a higher authority and those that are made by men.
188
And not until all the laws that are made by men are consistent with the laws made by the higher authority will we live in a just world.
189
It just so happened that the Civil Rights Movement was the perfect thing to help him bring his cause to life.
190
We followed, not for him, but for ourselves.
191
By the way, he gave the "I have a dream" speech, not the "I have a plan" speech.
192
(Laughter) Listen to politicians now, with their comprehensive 12-point plans.
193
They're not inspiring anybody.
194
Because there are leaders and there are those who lead.
195
Leaders hold a position of power or authority, but those who lead inspire us.
196
Whether they're individuals or organizations, we follow those who lead, not because we have to, but because we want to.
197
We follow those who lead, not for them, but for ourselves.
198
And it's those who start with "why" that have the ability to inspire those around them or find others who inspire them.
199
Thank you very much.
200
(Applause)

この動画で話す練習をする理由
このTEDトークは、リーダーシップやインスピレーションに関する深い洞察を提供しています。この動画を通じて話す練習をすることは、単に英語を学ぶだけでなく、自分の意見を効果的に表現する力を養うために非常に役立ちます。リーダーシップのスタイルや、効果的なコミュニケーションの方法について考えることで、自らの言語表現を豊かにし、英語の発音を良くするチャンスにもなります。「英語シャドーイング」を行う際にも、スピーカーの発音やアクセントを模倣することが重要です。
文法と文脈での表現
- "Why is it that ~?" - この構文は問いかけの形で、理由を問う時に用いられます。例文として「なぜ彼は選ばれたのか？」のように使用できます。
- "As it turns out, ~" - これは「結果的に、～ということがわかった」という意味で、情報を導入する際に便利な表現です。
- "By 'why,' I mean: ~" - このように定義を明確にすることで、聞き手に理解しやすくする技法は、会話でもよく使われます。
- "What most of us communicate is ~" - 普通のコミュニケーション方法を説明することで、聞き手に身近に感じさせ、自分の意見を強調するのに役立ちます。
共通の発音の罠
動画内での発音では、特に注意が必要な単語がいくつかあります。「inspire」や「believe」などの言葉は、特にストレスの位置が重要です。これらの単語をつづけて発音するとき、適切なイントネーションを見つけることが苦労するかもしれません。また、「message」や「communication」のように、早く話すと母音が曖昧に聞こえる場合があります。これらの言葉を「英語の発音を良くする」ために繰り返し練習することが、IELTS スピーキング対策にも役立ちます。「shadow speech」に取り組むことで、こうした言葉を休みなく使いこなす力を身につけられます。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
