Simon Sinek, New York Times bestseller author, business trainer, and outstanding speaker, answers the question of why only some companies manage to create an atmosphere of trust, support, and safety—the kind of atmosphere that builds teams of confident, satisfied people who are ready to solve the most difficult tasks. Why does it work for some and not for others? The answer is simple: leaders eat last. This idea came to Sinek from a Marine general who explained that the junior people in rank eat first and the senior people eat last. It isn’t a matter of good manners—leaders of the Marines eat last because the real cost of leadership is being willing to put others’ needs above one’s own comfort. People feel safe when they see that their leader is ready to sacrifice his comfort for the team. This book will help you create the so-called “circle of safety”—an atmosphere of confidence in the workplace—and build a strong, stable, and productive team.
