Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don't | 
pickI‘m glad I read this, and for the most part I really liked it and found it useful. This is the way I lead so in many ways it reinforces and gave reasons for why this works.
I do have a bone to pick with the author though. Every time someone writes about how the increase in ADHD diagnoses is related to screen time I get so effing mad. Just no. That is uninformed and perpetuates hurtful stereotypes. Neurodiverse is not a problem to be “fixed.”
pickIn many ways this book gives what to me is common sense advice for leadership, but I liked that Simon Sinek wove in how neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, adrenaline, oxytocin, and others feed into our workplace interactions. He also provided the most balanced discussion on millennials in the work place I have read, and I liked his tips for bosses, millennials, and parents in the appendix.
pickGreat book about the leading people, not organizations. I found his discussion and comparisons of endorphins, dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and cortisol especially interesting in the context of workplaces and organizations. It rambled in the last third of the book however, and I had to push through to the end.
I love this, and it rings true for the work of anti-racism since white supremacy and systemic racism have taught us not to speak out against white absolute power. “Responsibility is not doing as we are told, that‘s obedience. Responsibility is doing what is right.”
pick🎧 Another Book about leaders of corporations or leaders in their own business and even some same stories as the previous book. It was still good but not what I was looking for. ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/4
As soon as people are put second on the priority list, differentiation gives way to commoditization. And when that happens, innovation declines and the pressure to compete on short term strategies goes up.
Empathy is a second by second, minute by minute service that we owe to everyone if we want to call ourselves a leader.
Latest assigned work reading for a leadership team that I am a part of.
You can easily judge a character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him

pickThis book is an interesting look into how teams could be if they operated as our Palaeolithic tribes did. There are a lot of good points and overall this book is a very good read. At times though these good ideas felt disconnected from one another and borderline contrary. But one idea prevails and it is that every team would flourish if we came back to the humanity that forms our workforce and operate once again for the good of the tribe. (3.5/5)
so-soAnother inspiring read from the evangelical mind of Simon Sinek!
His enthusiastic voice carries on throughout the entire book making for a pleasant read. It's difficult to not get caught up in the excitement if being a strong leader.
However, I find he tends to over explain certain points by repeating the same concept but using different words.
Overall, pretty good read but I personally don't see myself picking it up off the bookshelf again.
pickLoving it so far!
Loving the content... not so much the narrator 😳
Simon Sinek came to speak to our company yesterday, and he is an amazing presenter. I felt so inspired, and I'm excited to read his books! #signedcopy #leadership #selfimprovement #nonfiction
pickSo very highly recommend this. Explains soooo much, good and bad, about how we got where we are as a society. Including the mentality shift needed.
*so* much shade being thrown at Baby Boomers. But explaining why! And the whole difference between leadership and management discussion... highly relevant right now.
I am super-loving this book.
The leadership team at my company is reading this for an upcoming book club. Reading for work? #TwistMyArm
pickHe talks of study after study on how companies who value their people tend to be more successful long term than those who look to slash people to raise profit. Lots of examples of companies who are working hard to make sure their people trust them. a quote in the book that really solidified the thought, would you want to be in a foxhole with your management. Would you trust them in the hardest of times to know they would screw you over.
