Simon Sinek explores how leaders can inspire cooperation, trust and change. He's the author of the classic "Start With Why" and "Why Leaders Eat Last?."
I’m a Vietnam combat veteran. We did this daily. Week after week, month after month. Focus on the result becomes intuitive. Thanks for sharing this story. Our nation is as great as it is because these pilots viewed the mission as a whole entity not those in the air and those on the ground. Big picture thinkers create a pathway for all to succeed.
I'm sharing this with our Amazing Team today! I've listened to it a few times and always pick up a few more Golden Nuggets each time. I wish everyone could listen to this that has a growing company.
I so want to share this with the president of our company, but I don't want to rock the boat. An empty company full of dedicated employees is a shame. I may share this with him, wish me luck, or blessings, or positive energy, or just say a prayer if I do. I'm struggling for sure, but the struggle is still alive.
Didn't he say the opposite of this title in every video before? I didn't even know he was considered new age besides the race rewriting all the religions an ideas. So its not what I meant. The computer generating earth gets confused easy.
Man I love this guy! I listen to all his talks on repeat while working. He reminds me to be a strong leader and reminds me the meaning of strong leadership every day; in case I forget. Thank you Simon! 🤗
On a more normal life threatening scale I have done something like this twice. Put myself in direct harm to protect someone else. When someone asked why I did that for a total stranger. I could not explain it but I responded. "I cannot imagine NOT doing that. It did not feel like I had an option"
About the thank you note.... the one that is written on an email, feels so impersonal, because it could have been copy and paste to hundred people or another 100 times. A note written on a postcard or letter, involves buying an envelope, a stamp $0.65, and dropped at the blue collection box or post office. Now , this feels more personal because of all steps and effort put into sending that written note. Nothing that comes free has any value. Excellent.
Sadly where I come from, people put remote work as some sort of a "modern" must have benefit and give the impression that office work is "boomer" style and it's outdated.
The thing I like the most in listening to you Is, you come across as having Ethics, Scruples, things in today's society don't exist. Just my spin on things but I think it mend the breach Is 58 :12.And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in..
GREAT PRESENTATION. But This was the wrong title for this talk. I’ve seen the talk where he actually implements the leaders eating last. Still very similar subject but specifies more. Find it! It’s good

If you watch some of his other videos he discusses in the military how the leader eats last to ensure everyone else has enough to eat and how this builds trust in the teams. If I remember correctly he has a book out called Leaders Eat Last. I do understand what you mean though.
Well, the thing in the military (and it still depends because even there you might find the bad leaders too) is that trust is way more important than in private firms: Each military leader needs his subordinates to trust him when things get real. And not just trust him as a person but also trust in his decision making and ability to lead. (You can trust a person but have no trust in their ability to do their job. 2 different things) And the stakes are higher because his subordinates are armed and dangerous and lives are on the line. It isn't uncommon in human history that in times of conflict soldiers have killed their own leader if this trust wasn't there. Doesn't often happen on the private sector... Sure that is and was punishable by court martial in any armed force, but for that someone has to know and accuse them first. Not going to happen if it happens far from the eyes of anyone outside the group. And the thing that good leaders also understand is what he mentioned about prehistorc times: the common soldier is the one expected to do the fighting and if need be dying, so they are the ones to get fed accordingly. That is something at least some militaries teach their leaders: "you need to see that your soldiers are as intact as possible because them being intact ensures that they are even able to do their job." The same is true on the civilian sector, but i think it's seldom seen this way and taught this way. (then again i had a little leadership training in the mil, but not on the private sector.) Napoleon is quoted to say "an army moves on it's stomach" -> Or like we said (my translation into english): No bite, no fight.
I agree with the majority of this, but I recently read an archeological study that found the alphas in some civilizations didn't eat first, but where often the last to eat, ensuring that the weaker would have what they needed to gain strength. Both work I suppose.
His rhetoric is on the right track, but I go so much further. There are "benefits" to being the alpha = good system. This is not just inaccurate, it's not a good or positive description. I prefer to use the rhetoric of a "creator" class. The people who come up with ideas that not only the people want, but is good for them as well. That still doesn't mean they should get first dibs on the food and sex partner. Rather it's the people who support the creators and do things that inspire them that should get first dibs. I put them above everyone because it's the best way I can articulate the general framework of a just community. There's a big difference there, because most of the people who he's calling an "alpha" use all kinds of devices of deceit to divide and subjugate the others for their own selfish benefit. Everyone can clearly see that, they don't know how to articulate a better plan going forward.

His other videos usually say the opposite of what he says here. What matters to people selling stuff an talking is usually just taking your money an time so they can enjoy the fruits of it. The game is pretty limited on the beings it can invent so its easy to figure them out
This eat last concept is taken to the extreme when people are forced into poverty and homelessness based in a leader eat last concept. Everyone is nit able to maturely handle this.
It’s why leaders eat last, but the whole lecture was pretty much the answer. Basically, his point was that a leader puts those working under before their needs or personal gain. And rather than being an authority figure which would be a person like a boss that took promotion for financial/personal gain, a leader is someone is actually puts effort and works more/harder so those around succeed.
Around 42:00 “our jobs are killing us” is my morning war cry to start the day. This country does an awful job pretending to create leaders. And it is leading to huge problems I thinks we or more likely, our children will suffer from the most out of any generation. “America best country in the world?” Ya maybe in some areas. It’s also hugely failing in key areas. We need leaders in politics not people that punt issues around like a one party system pretending to be a two party system. Out with the old, in with the new, I say. Hopefully. Or we are all doomed
Jesus came to serve not to be served. He said the greatest will be a servant. First will be last, and last will be first. Fact- We’ll know this one day, no choice. Might as well learn the sacrificial way sooner than later, because later will come!
Ivonne it’s because of this generic TH-cam channel. Everyone saw this on different channels. I have no idea who this channel is about, it’s weak though. I just clicked to listen to Simon while driving. Why is the channel weak? Because all they did was add famous videos to their channel to earn money, it doesn’t mean I trust a single thing the actual person says. The person that runs this channel has less trust from me than the leader of a Pyramid Scheme.
Sorry but the alpha stuff is not quite true, the interview part is wrong and the boss part too lol lots of people have problems with interviews and most bosses are not qualified
Snake oil. No business or leadership experience but great delivery rehashing other people’s stories. If you think this is really insightful then you are badly mistaken.
Hey Mr, what a waste it is a person with a very brilliant mind and so intelligent person doesn't realize that there is no homosapiens, or cave man, specially living 50millions years ago, when man was created almost 6 thousand years ago. No doubt you are a good teacher or coach helping someone who wants to improve public speaking, and very knowledgeable in many things, but you are missing the only one truth that will bring you forward you never thought.
I love these talks for betas, especially the comment sections. People do desperately need help these days, don't they? No wonder these "gurus" proliferate!
Because people are lovers of themselves and would never admit that they need others as much as they do. Because doing so is a sign of weakness to them. So they listen without admitting that what this man is speaking is facts.

I believe in you. You are not alone.
Good luck man!
You got this brother
How'd it go?
Well, I got an 11% raise and still have a job 👍
He is best in world , Simon keep
It up
How are there so few comments? This one of his best speeches. Well worth listening to - at least twice.
I am surprised too
I'm surprised too
Too busy watching the what the beurocrats made us think we want to watch. Billions of dollars spent in an effort to distract.
Because people arent addicted to commenting?
Probably because he leaves everybody breathless and stupefied.
I'm happy to see someone speaking from a real place( ❤) such a great speaker Simon is . I love listening to him
Bloody excellent. Well done.
Thank you for such great insight! This is visionary.
You inspired me to the maximum. Thank you.
All people in corporate world should learn from this talk
This is phenomenal ♥️
Excellent insights on leadership.
Anywhere I see Simon Sinek message I I'll try to listen to it, so much sense in it
Didn't he say the opposite of this title in every video before? I didn't even know he was considered new age besides the race rewriting all the religions an ideas. So its not what I meant. The computer generating earth gets confused easy.
What a delivery to start
Learning a lot. Thank you, people for sharing! Simon is great!

Great speaker.
Thank you!
The best speech ever.👍👍👍👍👍👍
Amazing talk.
Excellent Excellent & Excellent

The piece about the Spartan shield was strong.
Lucid explanation of such a complex issue
This was 👌
Valuable lessons to take home. Thanks.
Fantastic. Will apply
amazing video, humans are made, leaders are made
Great video, BCC Speakers team! I learned a lot from it. We'd like to share this video with the leaders in our organization. Thanks for this!

The movie "Life As a House" reminds me of the benefits of taking the time, investing time in those you care about
Great presentation
Este es un fregon!!
This speaks directly to remote-work. Without daily interaction with one’s colleagues, in-person, it’s very difficult to develop lasting trust.
Sadly where I come from, people put remote work as some sort of a "modern" must have benefit and give the impression that office work is "boomer" style and it's outdated.
Thought provoking & kindling

Where is the why do leaders eat last part?
I always thought leadership (management) was about catching you when you fucked up and snitching on you

This eat last concept is taken to the extreme when people are forced into poverty and homelessness based in a leader eat last concept. Everyone is nit able to maturely handle this.
It's sad how 16 of the 17 comments on this 5 year old video are less than 6 months old.

Agrees
is there anyone else who would kill to avoid the confrontation of a formal graduation? is there something wrong with me?
I guess I missed the reason why leaders wat first
It’s why leaders eat last, but the whole lecture was pretty much the answer. Basically, his point was that a leader puts those working under before their needs or personal gain. And rather than being an authority figure which would be a person like a boss that took promotion for financial/personal gain, a leader is someone is actually puts effort and works more/harder so those around succeed.
No I like emails.

Out with the old, in with the new, I say.
Hopefully.
Or we are all doomed
No wonder they eat last if warthogs fly then technically pigs are flying

Fact- We’ll know this one day, no choice. Might as well learn the sacrificial way sooner than later, because later will come!

The last part of this speech is so fantastic. Shutting systems off because people are scared.
