Publisher's Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Leaders Eat Last, written and read by Simon Sinek.
Simon Sinek's recent video on 'The Millennial Question' went viral with over 150 million views. In Leaders Eat Last, Sinek explores how leaders can inspire cooperation and change, and focuses on the millennial generation in the workplace.
Imagine a world where almost everyone wakes up inspired to go to work. This is not a crazy, idealised notion. In many successful organisations, great leaders are creating environments in which teams trust each other so deeply that they would put their lives on the line for each other.
Yet other teams, no matter what incentives were offered, are doomed to infighting, fragmentation and failure. Why?
Today's workplaces tend to be full of cynicism, paranoia and self-interest. But the best organisations foster trust and cooperation because their leaders build what Sinek calls a Circle of Safety. It separates the security inside the team from the challenges outside. Everyone feels they belong and all energies are devoted to facing the common enemy and seizing big opportunities.
As in Start with Why, Sinek illustrates his ideas with fascinating true stories, from the military to manufacturing, from government to investment banking. He shows that leaders who are willing to eat last are rewarded with deeply loyal colleagues who will stop at nothing to advance their vision. It's amazing how well it works.
Editorial reviews
In this groundbreaking leadership guide, Simon Sinek reveals the secret to fostering trust, cultivating cooperation and achieving exceptional teamwork: putting your own needs last.
How do we understand team dynamics? What makes some teams click and others fall apart? How can we lead more cohesive and effective teams while ensuring that every team member feels valued and fulfilled?
Best-selling author and internationally acclaimed speaker, Simon Sinek sheds light on these crucial questions in Leaders Eat Last. Drawing on developing research in the fields of psychology, neuroscience and more, this must-listen leadership guide provides searing insights into how the best leaders inspire outstanding teamwork by creating a sense of security and putting the needs of their people first.
Listen to Sinek’s wisdom in his own words as he narrates his second audiobook, which follows his debut, Start with Why. Sinek breaks down complex subjects, like brain chemistry and neurotransmitters, with his trademark clarity, frankness and wit.
Leaders Eat Last is a management and personal development audiobook for listeners who want their work and their lives to make a difference. Leaders at all levels are sure to come back to Sinek for inspiration, again and again.

Good ideas but twisted truths
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

An excellent book, although not an instructional
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.

A Welcome Antidote to the Profit-is-Everything Kool-Aid
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.

Actually Inspiring
A great book that actually does what it says. Simon Sinek actually does his mission statement and this book hits that bang on.
I don’t think any concept presented in this book would or should shock anyone but to see it explained in the way that Simon does allows for that information to land afresh.
In summary, this book had no reason to slap as hard as it did and I am glad that it did.

Glad another has the same opinions as me
I spent the majority of my time listening while nodding in agreement. Disappointed the acknowledgements were not included in the recording.

Inspiring & educational!
I personally like audio books that have been narrated by the author themselves & Simon Sinek can do no wrong. He's an exceptional public speaker & his ability to share stories that keep you interested is masterful. I found myself nodding & agreeing with him out loud on more than one occasion. I would recommend this book to anyone in a heartbeat 😊
