Leaders Eat Last
Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don't
The best leaders sacrifice their own comfort for their people, the way a commander eats after the troops: trust as biology
Sinek takes the Marine Corps custom of officers eating only after their people as the image for his argument: real leaders sacrifice their own comfort for those in their care, and in return earn the trust that lets a team perform. He grounds it in biology, the chemistry of cortisol, oxytocin and belonging, to explain why some workplaces feel safe and committed while others run on fear.
