Short transcript excerpt of a Robin Sharma keynote where he is introduced as the author of the bestseller The Leader Who Had No Title and leads an audience through motivational leadership questions. Core themes: becoming "legendary" and "iconic" in one’s field, disrupting past formulas, creating value by helping others, and the assertion that achieving top business results requires doing what only 5% of people do (courage to think differently). The talk emphasizes leadership as a mindset, way of working and living, and frames one’s job as an opportunity to create value and build leaders.

These books have been embraced by people from all walks of life. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Robin Sharma.
What will you do to become legendary? How many people want to be legendary in their work?
How many people want to become iconic in your field?
The question is, how can we grow it exponentially? How can we disrupt the technology we ran last year? How can we take our winning formulas and tear them down for the sake of something better?
It'll come down to two things. Number one, who did you have the guts to become? And number two, how many people did you help? How many lives did you touch? How many, how much value did you create?
Did you leave the world better than you found it?
The number one reason we don't play it world class in business is we are too frightened to think differently from the crowd.
To have the results only 5% of people in business have, we must have the guts to do what only 5% of the population does.
That is leadership.
It's a belief, It's a mindset.
It's a way of working.
It's a way of living.
Your job is a chance for you to look at that other human being in front of you and call the customer or teammate and say, my job is to create value and to inspire and to build more leaders. Your job is a chance for you to express your values. Your job is a chance for you.
