Session Description

As a follow-up to his widely acclaimed book, Start with Why, Simon Sinek describes in Leaders Eat Last that in his work with organizations around the world, he noticed that some teams trust each other so deeply that they would literally put their lives on the line for each other. Other teams, no matter what incentives are offered, are doomed to infighting, fragmentation and failure. Why?  The answer became clear during a conversation with a Marine Corps general. “Officers eat last,” he said. That is, great leaders sacrifice their own comfort–even their own survival–for the good of those in their care.  Sinek reveals that too many workplaces are driven by cynicism, paranoia, and self-interest. But the best ones foster trust and cooperation because their leaders build what he calls a “Circle of Safety” that separates the security inside the team from the challenges outside.  In this book study format, participants will engage in small groups discussions of their experiences with and thoughts on with the concepts presented.

Participants will receive a copy of the book to prepare for participation a few weeks prior to the session.
