About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

*Narrated by Simon Sinek*

Leadership is not a rank, it is a responsibility. Leadership is not about being in charge, it is about taking care of those in your charge.

When we take care of our people, our people will take care of us. They will help see that our cause becomes a reality.

In Leaders Eat Last, Simon Sinek, internationally bestselling author of Start With Why, investigates these great leaders from Marine Corps Officers, who don't just sacrifice their place at the table but often their own comfort and even their lives for those in their care, to the heads of big business and government - each putting aside their own interests to protect their teams.

'Simple and elegant, it shows us how leaders should lead' William Ury, co-author of Getting to Yes

Critic Reviews

As refreshingly simple and easy to follow as it is thought-provoking

I enjoyed the book but particular ideas came across a little too far stretched. Worth the read if you want a different business perspective to leadership and don't a bit of classic America centralised thoughts

Good ideas but twisted truths

Amazing book with a lot of meaningful insights you can draw. This book is not an instructional on how to lead, but a foundational analysis of a core ‘how’ and ‘why’ to guide leadership based on its effect on an organisation. Would recommend for anyone looking to lead a business or understand the importance of leadership.

An excellent book, although not an instructional

Listening to this book, as was also the case when I listened to ‘Start With Why’ by the same author, I found myself constantly nodding and exclaiming “Yes!!” I have long believed that the slavish, self-serving and unimaginative adherence by the Smartest People in the Room to Friedman’s model of greed-led economics and business is not the path to long-term success, for businesses, communities or economies; it is a great and welcome relief to have my general sense of things validated and so clearly and logically elucidated. Sinek’s thesis on the manipulation of physiological responses that has seen the escalating normalization of short-term, bonus-maximizing strategies over sustainable, long-term success is well-argued. This is a heartfelt and timely appeal for prioritizing empathy and respect as the key drivers of decision-making for ongoing success in enterprise. It is a powerful polemic on how capitulating to greed and the hunger for short-term rewards disproportionately concentrated in the executive suite are stripping out businesses to the point of collapse and why a renewed focus on leadership, rather than management, is the key to performance, success and sustainability in the long term.
