Leaders Eat Last is for those who want to feel they and their work matter and for those who want to inspire others to feel the same.
Imagine a world where almost everyone wakes up inspired to go to work, feels trusted and valued during the day, then returns home feeling fulfilled. This is not a crazy, idealized notion. Today, in many successful organizations, great leaders create environments in which people naturally work together to do remarkable things.
Today’s workplaces tend to be driven by cynicism, paranoia, and self-interest. But the best ones foster trust and cooperation because their leaders build what Sinek calls a “Circle of Safety.” When everyone feels like they belong, all energies are devoted to facing the common enemy and seizing opportunities.
This is particularly important for our youngest employees. In this revised edition, Sinek explores the challenges of leading Millennials. As a generation, they want to work somewhere with a purpose – they want to make an impact. But unless their organization builds a Circle of Safety, Millennials will struggle to find what they are looking for.
The fascinating research and true stories in this book prove that leaders who are willing to eat last are rewarded with deeply loyal, inspired and effective colleagues. It’s amazing how well it works.
