00:00:05

that explains how ideas and products spread through a society.

00:00:09

According to this law,

00:00:11

the adoption of an innovation follows a well-defined

00:00:13

sequence among different groups of the population.

00:00:17

The innovators who represent 2.5%,

00:00:20

the early adopters who represent 13.5%,

00:00:24

the early majority who represent 34%.

00:00:28

Followed by the late majority and finally the laggards

00:00:32

for a product or idea to reach a critical mass and be widely adopted,

00:00:37

it must cross an adoption threshold of 15 to 18%.

00:00:41

The real challenge

00:00:42

is not convincing the 15% of innovative

00:00:45

customers and naturally receptive early adopters.

00:00:48

The challenge is to reach the early majority who

00:00:51

only commit when the innovation has proven itself.

00:00:55

But to do this,

00:00:56

it is necessary to have reached and engaged the innovators and early adopters.

00:01:01

These individuals make visceral and intuitive decisions and are guided

00:01:06

by the vision of an innovative world that attracts them.

00:01:09

They are the ones who queue up for the release of a new iPhone

00:01:12

instead of waiting for the next week when it's available in all stores.

00:01:16

They want to be part of the new world they

00:01:18

believe in and which the company they buy from,

00:01:21

Apple in this case,

00:01:22

believes in.

00:01:23

They share the same vision of the future.

00:01:26

Simon Sinek in his first TED Talk compares the commercial failure

00:01:31

of Tivo and the historic success of Martin Luther King Junior.

00:01:36

Tio had everything to succeed a revolutionary product,

00:01:40

substantial funding,

00:01:41

a ready market.

00:01:42

Yet it was a failure because it could not communicate its vision to consumers.

00:01:48

It did not provide a convincing why.

00:01:51

In contrast,

00:01:52

Martin Luther King mobilized 250,000 people without the help of modern media,

00:01:58

a speech that stated what he believed in.

00:02:02

His speech transmitted to everyone his vision.

00:02:05

I have a dream.

00:02:07

I believe

00:02:08

his beliefs in the future met their hopes for a different America.

00:02:13

Like Martin Luther King,

00:02:14

who did not present a plan but a dream.

00:02:17

Simon Sinek invites leaders,

00:02:19

innovators,

00:02:20

and sellers to inspire by first communicating beliefs and values.

00:02:25

In short,

00:02:25

the why,

00:02:26

and not just the features,

00:02:28

the what,

00:02:29

or strategies,

00:02:30

the how.
