Leaders Eat Last (Simon Sinek)

"Leaders Eat Last" by Simon Sinek explores how effective leaders create environments of trust and cooperation by prioritizing the well-being of their teams. Inspired by the military tradition of leaders eating after their soldiers, the book emphasizes that leaders who foster psychological safety, empathy, and shared purpose inspire loyalty and high performance. By understanding human biology—such as the roles of chemicals like oxytocin and cortisol—Sinek explains how good leadership reduces stress and builds strong, motivated groups. Ultimately, it highlights that successful leadership is about serving others first, creating a culture where people feel valued and secure.
