"Leaders Eat Last", Simon Sinek.

?? ????????? ???????????????, ???? ????????? ?????????????? - ??????.

To Simon Sinek, author of “Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don’t,” (2014) leaders are not simply those with authority. When it matters, Leaders choose to eat last. They are selfless figures willing to relinquish their best interest for the betterment of those they lead.

Do leaders really eat last?

The answer became clear during a conversation with a Marine Corps general. “Officers eat last,” he said. Simon watched as the most junior Marines ate first while the most senior Marines took their place at the back of the line. What’s symbolic in the chow hall is deadly serious on the battlefield: Great leaders sacrifice their own comfort–even their own survival–for the good of those in their care.

Leaders Eat Last?provides many examples of teams built on the principles of trust and safety with a clear and distinct?Circle of Safety?within the group, which seem to thrive, whereas others don’t. Simon Sinek has some particular views?on leadership, trust, work, and integrity, which seem to be related. ?

“Leadership is about integrity, honesty, and accountability. All components of trust”.

Our biology has evolved over thousands of years to help us survive. From our ancestors, our hormones control our emotions and our behavior. There are 4 main hormones you need to understand:

·???????? Endorphin:?The hormone that masks pain;

·???????? Dopamine:?The hormone that helps us accomplish things;

·???????? Serotonin:?The Leadership Hormone;

·???????? Oxytocin:?The love hormone;

Simon calls the first two (endorphin and dopamine) selfish hormones and the last two (serotonin and oxytocin) of altruistic hormones.

Sinek also talks about 5 leadership lessons that need to be followed: 1:?The success of a company depends on the culture. 2: The?leader is the one that influences the company’s culture, be it in a positive or negative way. 3:?Integrity matters. 4:?Friends matter. They are an important part of our lives. 5:?Lead the people, not the numbers. Leaders should care about leading their people, not the number that these people may represent.

?

All these lessons from?Leaders Eat Last?make us more aware of the work environments that exist today. The culture that’s encouraged, and the values that a leader should embrace.

Thanks.
