Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don't
Simon Sinek · ★★★★★ · 350 pages · 2014
I have to say I started this book not being impressed, but by the time the author starts connecting history, our brain and our evolutionary needs and how leadership works I was sold.
Sinek’s argument is we in current society live in dopamine and cortisol filled me first society of leadership nowhere no one feels safe and no one trusts one another. The way to alleviate this is for leaders to create a place of safety. They are teachers and guides who create a place where people can feel safe and trust their leadership does the right thing. It is with trust and vulnerability in a culture of taking care of others that they impart and make a leader.
Overall the better book in this category and one I believe Sinek does well to write because he really asks why of everything. So when he gives a story or goes into history or talks about science he really gives the why. I guess we should expect that since he did write the Power of Why.
Overall a great read on how we need to change society.
