Leaders Eat Last : Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don't

“We must be the leaders we wish we had.”

[@antonioandres9220]

I think the second part would be something like this as well “who work hard and care for their coworkers” because we can be leaders who want more out of their employees and not treat them good. But the first part is important! Gr3at statement @brightpage1020

[@katherinebrown5113]

Thank you for making such an impact on the way I think about conditions inside the organization that I work for. I am currently new in the shift lead training and my goal is to show them what a leader is supposed to be. What does it mean when you’ve seen a turn over rate of 35 managers and nobody ends up stay past one year max? Would you recommend doing the opposite of their company policy of how you should act?

[@pngarcia1563]

Hardest part of adjusting from Marine Corps life back to civilian life was/is the dog eat dog and each person for themselves attitude. My first management position we had an incident in our warehouse with involving one of our forklift drivers. Owner came in fuming and told me to fire the driver. When I told him that it was not the drivers fault, that we had failed to properly train him right, my boss's jaw hit the floor! Because I took the responsibility for the incident, he couldn't fire the driver. I sat down with the driver and counseled him about the incident, sent him through a proper training course/certification and he ended up being one of our best employees. Of course, that being said, my boss had no clue and still learned nothing about proper leadership.

[@jvolstad]

Leader's eat last. I learned that as a junior NCO in the Army. One day, while training out in the field at Fort Hood, we took a break for lunch. As one of the trainers, I needed to get something to eat right away and return to the training site to prepare for the afternoon training. A senior NCO caught me trying to eat first. I tried to explain why I was doing this, but the Sergeant was not impressed. He explained to me that my soldiers always got to eat first and then then the NCO's ate. I immediately understood why that was. 20-years later I retired from the Army but still remember that incident. A couple years after I retired from the Army, I ran into one of my former soldiers. After some small talk, he made a comment to me that I was always taking care of the troops. That I never did anything (that was noticeable) for myself. "Isn't that the way its supposed to work" was my reply. BTW, I now help out at my local VA Hospital as a volunteer. I work directly with our hospitalized veterans. Their needs come before my needs.

the way companies work now is the company owner takes credit for the work everyone does and the person who did it gets no credit.. i guess we are leaders.. low paid sucker leaders.. yay us.. leading the way to one persons profit while we dont have anything..

[@archielarsen7792]

Been there, I stood my ground when my boss tried to fire an employee for doing what we trained them to do. I know it was going to cost me down the road...it did. I left the company voluntarily and found another great mentor, moved forward and continued my journey to being a better leader tomorrow then today. (Simon thank you for all your content and simplicity to very complex human needs and desires) Now, I lead a small team with online sales and teaching people how to sell and buy safely online. Still look back and consider that moment with my boss the moment with the rubber met the road for me and leadership. So, if you are feeling stuck with a decision at work, not sure what to do. DO THE RIGHT THING! I can't promise it won't hurt today or tomorrow. By constantly doing the right thing you put yourself in the right position to be found for amazing things.

[@annakridaningsih1820]

I got into a heated argument because Upper management hired an individual that admittedly couldn't meet their "minimum requirements" and told me to just write them up so they had something to use against them. I laughed in their face. No, fucking, way. I told them "you YOU KNEW this was the case when you interviewed, this is unacceptable.

Arnold Schwarzenegger once held the door open for me. He was in Aspen with his wife, shopping after supper one evening about a decade before he hit politics, still famous for Terminator movies. He wore a coat and tweed hat down around his eyes and a scarf against the cold. Humble man. I was like 12.

[@edhill8341]

As a pastor many times at fellowship dinners etc, I didn’t get to eat because I was taking care of folks, and this is the right approach for any leader to follow.

[@thothheartmaat2833]

and then theres the low paid workers who are working so theyre not allowed to eat and everyone knows its their job to police them and get them fired if they eat..

[@julonkrutor4649]

"Leaders Eat Last" ... i learned this in the german army during my officers training when i asked my NCO why he allways eats last (was just a month in the army). He explained it like this "Because i lead you guys!" It toke me a few months to understand this, but i did in the end ^^

[@edwardb7811]

The military provides many leadership lessons at an early stage of one’s life. It fosters discipline and focus on the team’s mission rather than on oneself.

[@minniethriver]

It is hard to always have the courage for this kind of leadership. Truth is, sometimes I'm just so tired, while other authorities have a good life choosing the easy way (not the right). It became a daily struggle within the years, maybe I'm too sensitive. But it's really encouraging to hear Simon say all these things, to know there are others out there really working to go the right path, to show integrity. Plus, I needed to hear that you probably will be a bad leader on some days but in the long run, you'll see growth. Thanks for this video!

[@durgan5668]

The part that hit me: We have sections on self help, none on helping others.

[@mindgames50]

Have to build yourself before helping others ...

[@michaelsorensen7567]

Oxygen masks drop on an airplane, you gotta get yours on before getting others' on, or you pass out and you're part of the problem. If you're trying to "help others" to, for example, get ripped, and meanwhile you're a six hundred pound blob on a couch, you're not a credible authority on how to get ripped. Even in his book, he talks about how alpha lions get first dibs, in a book about "leaders eat last". That part confused me.

[@davielgaming1200]

There is a book about helping others but not many like to read it. It’s called the Bible and a lot of what he’s talking about is biblical principle-based. Jesus was Leader who had many followers. Interestingly, Apostle Paul, one of Jesus’s 12 disciples did was Simon Sinek does as he carried Jesus’s teachings which involved leadership in service to others. The Bible is an incredible book with many stories of Jesus his leadership and the transferring of that leadership to his disciples in empowering the people to be accountable and self righteousness with humility and service to others. Unfortunately, many religious leaders distort the Bible principles to condemn others into feeling perpetually guilty and unworthy to keep followers and their 10% plus offerings continual. Some organized religions have become a Corporatized using non profit incentives. It’s sad but once I read the Bible for myself, the truth set me free. Simon Sinek reminds me of a leadership disciple like in the Bible.

[@centpushups]

@@davielgaming1200 common sense stuff from jesus. But so rare that's it's pretty sad. Whatever your opinion on religion is, Christianity done right does great.

[@kathleenthomas1141]

I agree with you.Good leadership and essential leadership is needed in leadership.

[@deborahsinclair636]

I am infactated with Simons talks because he is real, he gives the clear understanding of what it takes to be a leader. He is humorous, he is smart and shares his empathy of how human society needs to take responsablity.

[@AnitaGeorge_akuani]

I have been in varying types of Organizations, and I can remember the company that allowed me to be responsible and accountable and I had the support of my leaders, I learnt the most and was the happiest. I have taken those lessons and tried in my subsequent positions - and the interesting thing I have found is people generally are VERY resistant to such ideas. Simon always reminds me that I am doing what has a positive impact, but it takes time before people see the value of your actions - but it should not stop us from doing it right.

[@danielcruzhernandez886]

On trust: Everyone demands that they must be unconditionally trusted and that you will die if you don't trust them. But you will die or be injured if you *do* trust those people! "Trustworthiness" is the real important factor.

[@aikishugyo]

Cool! Echoes of Jocko Willinck's "Extreme Ownership" philosophy from the SEAL Teams. I am impressed and gratified to see so many ex-military commentators with their positive experiences from military training, and the disillusionment with how so-called "leadership" happens in civilian life. Certainly not in a way that fulfills people's or organizations' potentials.... glad there are better ways that we can promote and share.

Wow! Please help. I am a transplant to a very rural town. I work in a floral shop and shared this video with my coworkers. I love his talks and thought it would be awesome to share for all of us. I have received nothing but belittling comments about me for sharing such a thing. One woman making completely irrational comments, the other laughing about it. If course they didn't listen to the talk, but just decided this was a put down on the boss. So not true! There is so much negative gossip there so I hoped this would help us all join together.

[@HippieInHeart]

"I as a parent would let my child eat before I do" kinda depends on the parent tbh, my "mother" would rather take and eat my food if I wasn't eating it quickly enough myself lmao. Left me with a probably unhealthy but also pretty convenient habit of always just *devouring* everything whenever I start to eat. Which is kinda a good thing tbh, means I gotta spend less time eating and have more time for other stuff. But yeah, sorry for the off-topic, all this talk of parenting just brought a couple of those "fond" childhood memories back lol. Good video. I personally never wanted to be any sort of leader at all, but it's very interesting anyway. You never know when you might find yourself in a position where you're forced to do certain things and it's always useful to at least have a general idea of what to do then.

[@Iknowthelaw13]

I disagree with him just a bit about the parenting comparison. Yes love and support are necessary but they are also kids. They are not adults, they don’t have rights. They should be kids. Part of the illness in this country-this obsession with empowering children. In the business world or sports world yeah because these are adults getting paid for their work.
