Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don’t

What if the secret to strong teams wasn’t strategy or talent — but safety?

In Leaders Eat Last, Simon Sinek goes beyond buzzwords to explore how truly great leaders build trust, loyalty, and resilience — not by commanding teams, but by serving them.
This isn’t just about business. It’s about biology, psychology, and what it means to be human in a world built on performance.

In this episode, we explore:

• why some teams thrive under pressure, while others fall apart

• the power of a “Circle of Safety” — and what it actually looks like in real life

• how leadership is more about sacrifice and empathy than authority or charisma

Whether you're leading a company, managing a team, or just trying to show up better for people — this book will challenge the way you think about power, responsibility, and culture.

Here’s a line that captures it:
“Leadership is not about being in charge. It’s about taking care of those in your charge.”

🎧 Press play to rethink leadership — from the inside out. And if this episode shifts your perspective, follow the show. There’s more insight where this came from.
