This is one of my favorite leadership books. Simon does an excellent job at articulating the leadership concept and the importance of genuinely caring for the people you are responsible for.

Incredible principles, but it needs a new edition speaking on how to work with Gen Z. Yet soon enough Gen Alpha will be the topic-at-hand.Great. Just needs reworking on a good chunk for this “new age” we’re in.

Leaders Eat Last is a powerful and inspiring read for anyone who truly wants to earn the right to lead. Simon Sinek masterfully explains that leadership is not about titles or numbers — it’s about people. Our greatest asset isn’t on a balance sheet — it’s the human beings we serve, guide, and grow with.This book explores different leadership styles and shows how leadership, when done with empathy and integrity, can be astronomical in its impact. As my father, the great Walter Leon Freeman, always said, “Treat people how you would want to be treated.” That principle resonated deeply with the message of this book.I appreciated how Sinek broke down the difference between leadership driven by trust and loyalty versus leadership driven by metrics and pressure. The wrong approach can be devastating — to morale, to culture, and ultimately to long-term success.One caveat: I would have gladly given this book 5 stars, but my Kindle showed it was complete at 82%, which made me think the book had ended prematurely. I felt something was missing. However, like a well-crafted Marvel movie, Sinek added bonus content for those who stuck around — and I’m glad I did.The final chapters dove into an essential topic: how to lead and understand Millennials (Gen Y). That insight alone opened my eyes and mind to a whole new level of leadership. Sinek also exemplified true leadership by dedicating a chapter to thank those who helped him create the book and credited his sources — a reminder that no great leader succeeds alone.I highly recommend Leaders Eat Last to any current or aspiring leader. Simon Sinek doesn’t just teach leadership — he lives it, and it shows in every chapter of this awesome read.

Another very useful leadership book full of valuable insights to inspire innovation and sustainable success over the long term, highly recommend.

One of my favorite books on leadership

Headline says it all. Sinek writes like a mentor or older friend talking to you over coffee. The book is consistent and hammers its point home well. It’s easy to get lost in the journey of the reading and not even consciously realize the gravity of the subject matter until it ultimately arrives to you naturally by the last chapter.Great book.

Simon Sinek has demonstrated in his book that we are all humans that should be treated with respect. In this regard businesses are starting to forget about the core fundamentals that make profit without considering people as just numbers. The more exposure leaders get with their employees the better the leaders should treat his company. In return for this generous care and safety employees start to take the company more then just a place to work. Employees will wear their company on their shoulders and would be proud to work at the company for as long as they would be allowed. Without safety or trust though comes a high stress environment where employees feel lifeless. They come for the money then leave, this leads to people not feeling safe and secure and causes them to not trust their leader in helping them support their family. Successful companies treat their employees like their children; they will not lay off employees when times get bad but actually treat them with even more safety. This simple act of kindness allows employees themselves to protect one another such as ideas of having mandatory no pay vacations in smalldoses so they can all pull together and wait out the bad times of the company.Simon talks about key terms such as the circle of safety as well as our biology with selfish chemicals such as endorphin and dopamine. The other two chemicals that we receive are called selfless chemicals and they are serotonin and oxytocin.Endorphins come from physical activity, or stress and fear. When it is released into our body it masks pain with pleasure. This is also seen when we start to enjoy exercising and how some people can complete long triathlons. This chemical gives us the next step in what we need to cover a great distance.Dopamine is the reward we receive when we accomplish something or become near to accomplishing a task. Dopamine is slowly released little by little when we get closer to finishing something. The dopamine amount is also relative to how hard the task is. Dopamine is the reason why we continue with projects because it makes us feel good about ourselves.Serotonin is the feeling we get when we feel recognized and appreciated. It gives us confidence and makes us strong when we receive a compliment of our abilities as a person. examples of this is when we walk receive an award for best employee in front of all your co-workers, or walking down graduation day being held your degree you worked so hard to get.Oxytocin is the chemical we receive when we develop deep trust with another person. When someone does something nice to us we get a rush of oxytocin in our blood and it is a feeling what some call the chemical love. Oxytocin is also responsible for making us vulnerable and open up. This gives us a equal share in the group to bare our inner circle of safety which gives us an easier time to focus on tasks.These two terms go hand in hand and it is up to the leaders to create the circle of safety for their employees in the work environment a place they feel safe and secure. Without the circle of safety being received by all employees, trust and integrity go down the drain and slowly grab the company in a slow but sure spiral of how the company should be. These chemicals should be in balance and it is up to how the leader structures their company to ensure their employees are receiving the circle of safety.The military and basic human fundamentals are clear examples Simon based his theories on and I feel he did a good job explaining himself. Fantastic book and a must read!
