Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don't

Simon Sinek, New York Times bestselling author, business trainer, and outstanding speaker, answers the question of why only some companies are able to create an atmosphere of trust, support, and safety. The kind of atmosphere that nurtures a team of confident, satisfied people ready to tackle the most difficult tasks. Why do some achieve it and others don’t? The answer is simple: leaders eat last. This idea came to Sinek from a Marine general, who explained that those lower in rank eat first, and those higher in rank eat last. It isn’t a matter of etiquette—Marine leaders eat last because the real cost of leadership is being willing to put others’ needs above your own. People feel safe when they see that their leader is ready to sacrifice their own comfort for the team. This book will help you create the so-called circle of safety—an atmosphere of confidence within your workplace—and build a strong, stable, and productive team.
