Simon Sinek’s “Leaders Eat Last” emphasis on ethical leadership and creating a supportive work environment reminded me that leadership is not only about achieving results but also about making a positive impact in the lives of those with whom we share our lives every day.
I recommend it to anyone interested in personal development, team dynamics, and understanding human behaviour in various contexts.

This is a really fluffy book. I'm disappointed because I love watching talks by the author ([a:Simon Sinek|3158574|Simon Sinek|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1369949952p2/3158574.jpg]), but I didn't find his voice shine through in this book. His general points about what makes a good leader is fine, but it could have been covered with a talk or article. Instead, it's 220+ pages of soapbox rambling. Although everyone is entitled to their opinion, I don't understand why this book has so many 5* (only my opinion).
Even though it's a bit different, I would recommend reading [b:The Magic of Thinking Big|759945|The Magic of Thinking Big|David J. Schwartz|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1404632064s/759945.jpg|746042] that covers, among other things, being a leader.

This is (as Simon Sinek's writing is) very profound. The research Simon shares in this book is both mind-blowing and sobering. My viewpoint does differ from Simon's in that I believe in a sovereign God who created the universe and Simon writes from the position of evolution, but I can follow his findings and see how they point them back to the God who created relationships and the concept of trust. As someone who is not in a technical leadership position, I still drew wisdom from reading this. After all, as Simon reminds us, we all have a responsibility to lead in some capacity, because leadership is not ultimately about rank - it is about the people under you, and whether or not you are willing to serve them. Read this if you are an executive, employee, or even a student - there is something for all of us to learn about looking out for others above ourselves.

Inspiring book. Too many military references for my taste. But apart from that I really liked it.

A compelling insight into the difference between being a leader and a manager of a team.

These can be hit-or-miss but this one hit for me. Diagnosis of the downfalls of 20th and early 21st century workplaces matched my experience. Probably best read with Quiet, because this one overemphasizes extroversion.
