Leaders Eat Last

Why do only a few people get to say " I love my job"? How can we get everyone "livin' the dream"?

Sinek's book says that a leader who takes care of their people and stays focused on the well-being of the organization can never fail. Is it really that easy? Can people in any organization take a step back and really reflect on their current leadership and their willingness to place the needs of others above their own?

When energy is transferred from the top of the organization to those who are actually doing the job, those who know more about what's going on on a daily basis, the entire organization becomes more powerful. In essence the organization can carry out the values and goals of the organization without the leader.

Everything about being a leader is like being a parent. It is about committing to the well-being of those in our care and having a willingness to make sacrifices to see their interests advanced. This is what leadership is all about.

Are you a leader?
