About the book
The Infinite Game, published in 2019, applies the thinking of James P. Carse to business and leadership. Simon Sinek separates finite games, such as chess and football, which have fixed rules, a clear end and a winner, from infinite games, such as business and politics, where the aim is to keep playing. He argues that business has changing players, individual strategies and no fixed rules or end point, so it has no true winners, only players who drop out when their will or resources run dry. Leaders, he says, should focus on building strong, lasting organizations.
