This episode explores Simon Sinek’s Leaders Eat Last, a compelling examination of leadership built on trust, selflessness, and collaboration. Sinek introduces the Circle of Safety, a concept in which leaders protect their teams from threats, fostering an environment that enables innovation and cooperation. We discuss the book’s integration of biological insights—how oxytocin and serotonin reinforce social bonds—and Sinek’s critique of modern organizational practices that prioritize short-term gains over human well-being. By advocating for empathy and sacrifice, Leaders Eat Last argues that putting people first is not just a moral choice but a strategic advantage for building resilient, high-performing teams.
