Why Leaders Eat Last
Conference talk at 99U Conference
· 45 min
In this in-depth talk from the 99U Conference 2013, Simon Sinek, author of Start With Why, reveals the hidden dynamics that inspire leadership and trust.
In biological terms, leaders get the first pick of food and other spoils, but at a cost. When danger is present, the group expects the leader to deal with every threat, even at the expense of their own well-being. Sinek argues that understanding this deep-seated expectation is the key difference between someone who is just an “authority” and a true “leader”.
The talk relates to his book Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don’t.
