Simon Sinek: Why Leaders Eat Last

[@BruïnGebakken]

"In the military, they give medals to people who are willing to sacrifice themselves, so that others may gain. In business, we give bonuses to people who are willing to sacrifice others so we may gain." What an awesome paradox Simon.

[@R0I3I3IE]

@Sheerluck Holmes, agreed. I'm in the military (UK) and see that mentality *all* the time with Officers. If the other side of the swamp was their promotion, they would sooner use you to step on, rather than get dirty themselves.

[@JewelzFin]

I'm in the military now after working at Microsoft and managing several luxury hotels; and I've seen both go both ways. The military is nothing like the days of our parents. Just like the loyalty and honor within the labor force isn't the same as those days.

[@JewelzFin]

@@R0I3I3IE agreed. I serve over here in the States and have seen some wild shit from those in power, all for personal gain.

[@wolfgangkranek376]

Since Simon Sinek refers to biology and nature. In nature you really find both forms of structure or behavior. Mostly it depends if the others belong to your own species, group, family etc. Or if they are a rival in resources (territory, food, sexual partners, safety), or if they form a resource themselves for your own or your groups benefit. Just like the pilot only felt emotionally obliged to the people he protected. So it's no surprise that both phenomenons manifest themselves also in our societies. And sometimes even overlap.

What an astounding, thought provoking, talk. "The cost of leadership is self-interest. If you're not willing to give up your perks when it matters, then you probably shouldn't get promoted. You might be an authority but you will not be a leader. Leadership comes at a cost. You don't get to do less work when you get more senior, you have to do more work and the more work you have to do is to put yourself at risk to look after others. That is the anthropological definition of what a leader is." Absolutely spot on. This entire quote speaks volumes of information and i could not be more grateful to have seen this. Thank you for this perspective, it is a wonderful place to view.

[@alenaadamkova5322]

Psychologist of families says If you have a child of age 1,5 years old, you should avoid bad habits....like scrolling social media. at this age children´s brain notices very much the behavior of the parents If you constantly look into the smartphone, and wear the smratphone everywehre the 1,5 years old baby...."installls a program into its brain"....I have to get this "thing"... otherwise I will not survive without it. Its the age when the baby´s brain is absorbing information about how to survive... so leave the phone in some other room...and do the habits that you want your child to learn.

I was a 1st Lieutenant in the army. I refused to use the officers mess, the officers cantine, instead, i ate and drank with the privates. To much dismay of the other officers, of course. I should annoy the living piss out of the troops, command them into silliness, brake them, be... an 'officer' (read, jackass). I cleaned the toilets with them, I peeled potatoes with them, I did everything they did. When we were on maneuvers, I often asked my men for advice, rather than just command them, because, even though 'merely' a private, this private could have a marvelous idea I did not think off. We discussed the upsides and downsides of ideas. Now, here's the funny part... When others 'commanded' the same troops, they did not really feel up to do it. I, on the other hand, only had to ask, and they went further than I asked them to. How you approach a certain group, makes the whole difference...

[@MrVirly]

Whenever I need it, which isn't often, but regularly, I watch the part where he explains Self-Interest as the Cost of Leadership which kicks in at 24:00. We are OK with the perks and higher pay and status that leaders get because we trust that when the time comes, they will sacrifice themselves for us and protect us from outside dangers. They are never supposed to sacrifice us for themselves. I'm so all in with this approach. Our leaders need to protect and support us, that's the value they bring to us and we'll push ourselves to be the best we can if we trust that they have our back.

I've been studying leadership deeply for 22 years. Executing the principles I've learned along the way to gain my own insight into what works and doesn't. I've been leading high tech teams for 20years in the Silicon Valley. I can easily say, this leadership video may be the best I've ever seen. If you want to build a team that is a powerhouse and where people are happy, do as Simon says. 'If you are willing to sacrifice yourself so others may gain, you are a leader'. Sadly, most managers these days have never studied leadership and are fairly poor at what they do.

"Leadership is not a rank. Leadership is not a position. Leadership is a decision. Leadership is a choice. It has nothing to do with your position in the organization.

I can tell you why I eat last. I am a Construction Manager, big jobsites, big crews. When work is on, it's ON.... lot's of dangerous activities in construction. Everyone needs to focus. When lunchtime comes and the guys sit down to relax, that's when I go out to talk to them. Real leaders care about people, and they know non-work conversation is the way to get to know them. I spend lunchtime forming relationships, sharing what we care about outside of work. I pride myself on forming high performance teams that work together to accomplish amazing things. Lunchtime is too important a time for a real leader to sit locked away in the office eating and reading the internet.

Who holds the shield have to look after his surroundings, your left, right and back, but you can just look in front! The bible tells US, that this one who thinks he stands, has to have a look, that he don't fall The fake safety, is our all fall!

[@bootsonthegroundcoaching2915]

It sounds like you take care of the people you supervise and invest in them regularly. It's great to hear from a leader who sees the people they lead as more than just a means to an end, but as people who have their own hopes, dreams and desire for success in their careers/lives. All the best!

"Why Leaders Eat Last" This reminds me of a university visiting prof that taught a two semester course in human physiology I took, years ago. He was ex-military, having been an officer in the US army where he marched soldiers around a desert to study dehydration and acclimation to heat over time. He once said that a good officer always made sure the troops ate first. He then admitted that the officers, eating later ate far, far better food.

I liked how he linked leadership to biological needs and motivation. I found that in life things are so interconnected but often people cannot make or see the connection. It takes time to explain things in a manner where people can relate. He did a good job with the explanations. Especially when he was talking about name brands. Also, in my opinion, understanding brings clarity and change and helps overcome fear and prejudices. Really liked the presentation.

So true when he says, “You might have authority but that doesn’t make you a leader.” So many people in places of authority abuse it instead of taking it as an opportunity to help be in a position to help build others up. A leader is one who gives us their time and their energy without expecting anything in return. Leadership is difficult because you can’t give time and energy to everyone but effort should be given to make people feel safe.

I don't really understand this leadership lesson. In the example that he gives with the alpha, they get the benefits so that they can be in top shape to protect the rest of the herd/pride/whatever. How does you eating last relate to that?

[@legpack]

Sam Jacob This guy actually talked about it. They eat last because it creates a family like bond. A father will give his food to his child if they both starves. And if the child then becomes better off, he will help the father.

[@MrNevenon]

Yet there is another argument: Most of the actual physical work done in military gets done by soldiers, and not by officers. Before the group eats, the officer can put out orders what has to be done after having eaten. So obviously it is more efficient that the soldiers eat first so that they're able to pick up work as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the officer has time to think about next steps etc.

Mother Theresa could give a sermon about spreading goodwill, and there will be those that give her a thumbs down. That speaks volumes about about your own personal achievements; expect that haters will follow the attention.

"If you"ve ever met someone and you are nervous meeting them, you are not the alpha" well stated!

[@-Floydimus]

"If you've ever met someone and they are nervous meeting you, then you are THE alpha"

[@KiLLED5639]

There's a context here.

[@dybusmariusz]

No,the right statement should be: if you've ever met someone and they made you nervous they're not alfa. You don't have to perceive yourself as alfa but they do have to perceive you as alfa. You don't look in the mirror. You are mirror.

[@paulsiro1775]

Bet all beautiful girls are somewhat alphas to teenager me

[@marcusevans1171]

There's many reasons to be nervous if you meet someone. The "alpha" is not really an accurate description of what's happening there.

[@amsaric]

Literally, every single one of this man's talks are epically amazing, yet this one somehow manages to blow every single one of them out of the water. He said so himself: he never did this talk before and hasn't done it since. It's just WOW.

[@KONDORPA]

i put it on reminder list to watch the vide at least once a month remind myself the kind of person I want to be. i bet, this is one of the most precious free video available on internet.

[@lindayo411]

Wow, Bravo Simon Sinek!! I literally clap my hands in front of my computer monitor!!

[@HickoryDickory86]

I did too! LOL

Simon, you are amazing! Your words of inspiration really touched me deeply and helped me reflect on how I am as a lead learner. Thank you!

Best 45 minutes I've ever spent on KZbin...(probably should haave told the speaker that in person ;) )

[@SilverPresident]

I quite agree

[@itadwijayanti5027]

Searching this video after finished reading a book leader eat last so i can deeply remember the contains of this book and this is so inspiring video that i watch thankyou

[@ryank2365]

This is hands down, perfect guidance for every one to listen to. No matter what age!

[@tarekel-maghraby6291]

An extremely fantastic talk with outstanding sense of passion in his message. The 5 chemically produced feelings is absolute correct and MUST be recognized by us all.

[@samuvelstephen7788]

That was totally life changing.. He changed my entire perspective towards life.. Thank you!

[@Marty-V]

I wish I could have a conversation with this hero

[@lindsaygibson2142]

@country side I think he was talking of the example that the speaker used...

[@estherkinyua3209]

I just discovered Sinek today. Great inspiration and will put to action what am learning. I will look for his books too.

[@cesarhuertatheveganskater2251]

Wow , he said the more you do the more you want to do! That totally makes sense iv'e volunteered every day all this year and i cant get enough of it, Going on about 2,000 thousand hours so far this year alone!!!

[@AdorianDeck]

So much makes sense now. Awesome talk.

[@marin7615]

This is so great it shoud be class subject in every school, it is all amazing to watch but at 42:18, trust me, this is where he will completely got you. Sinek is a talent.

[@KystRCss]

I SO agree with you. Right now our school system is build on dopamin. Short term "feel goods", based on competing with the person sitting next to you.

[@alberto95128]

I've been a leader for 20years in the tech industry. I have studied leadership hard, and practiced the principles learned to see what works and what doesn't. I have read many books about great leaders and watched countless videos. I have studied what makes people tick to build better and stronger teams. I can say beyond the shadow of a doubt, this video is the cream of the crop. Thank you Simon.

[@this-is-bioman]

Putting aside his way of talking I must say that I feel as if he was reading my mind. I'm starting the leadership journey and he describes the kind of a leader I always wanted to have and be. This is how I always had imagined leaders would be like. I'll do my best ;-]

[@fongseanter]

now it's 2020 if you still watch this !! you are a legend , God Bless you

[@livehabesha4642]

2020 ?

[@igedecakra279]

Mr.Simon Sinek, thank you very much for make such great highlight and make me understand even more about of sooo many Bible principles that actually you talked bout it. Serve others, giving makes you happier, do the golden rule, treat people as we wanted to be treated, and just like Jesus said, whoever wants to be a leader need to be the least first, which is serve others, with our effort, energy and time. And you make it more clear. God's word never out of date. Thank you for your outstanding speech Mr.Simon. love it every second! 🕊🙏🏽❤️🌸👍🏽👏🏼

[@i_ama_messenger6091]

Jesus is coming soon. Repent so you can rejoice. The kingdom of God is at hand.

[@maddballpartyproduktions9757]

Such great teachings. This lecture is spot on and a must see for those who aspire to become leaders!

[@avinashseth5432]

One of the great talks i heard 😍

[@cos2mes]

one of the best talks. Simon is great. All his talks are insightful, informative and thought/action promoting but this one is my favorite talk so far. Thank you Simon for sharing and making a difference in so many lives (mine).

[@annadawson5325]

I just found this speech, it did not feel like 45 minutes, I could have heard 2 hours with no problem. It certainly grabs you.

[@venkatramram9179]

Hello Simon Very impressed by your content, style and intent. Your entire discussion has the spiritual fabric embedded which cannot be seen but can be experienced. Great. May your tribe increase.. God bless

[@Axemvision]

Never thought I would find so many holes in my logic filled in by one presentation. Amazing.

[@MrJupiter0001]

Jocko Willink and Lief Babin: Extreme Ownership is an excellent pairing to Simons book here. I'm in a leadership role in my company and they both are absolutely on point. I even have it at the end of my resume that I have read these books and other leadership materials. (under extra training and qualifications). Id recommend the audiobooks.

[@noorierao7431]

I found this to be so interesting and so enlightening, I watched it three times already! How deep, how profound this explanation of leadership! Thank you so much, Simon!
