In Leaders Eat Last<\/em>, Simon Sinek teaches leaders how to unite their teams through empathy. He argues that empathy is the reason why “some teams pull together and others don’t.” Leading with empathy<\/a> by prioritizing the needs of your subordinates over the company’s profits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are a couple of quotes from Leaders Eat Last<\/em> by Simon Sinek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don’t<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Leaders Eat Last, <\/em>author and inspirational speaker Simon Sinek argues that a leader\u2019s primary responsibility is to prioritize her subordinates\u2019 needs above her own. In business, this usually manifests as a manager prioritizing her employees\u2019 personal needs above immediate profit. Ultimately, this helps the company\u2014and its leader\u2014to be more successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following Leaders Eat Last <\/em>quotes highlight some of the key ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd when a leader embraces their responsibility to care for people instead of caring for numbers, then people will follow, solve problems and see to it that that leader\u2019s vision comes to life the right way, a stable way and not the expedient way.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

According to Sinek, when leaders see their subordinates as people rather than assets that produce profits, employees feel safe because they can trust you to support them and be invested in their<\/em> success as well as your own. Sinek implies that supporting your subordinates means paying attention<\/a> to them so you can monitor and fulfill their needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a supportive environment, your subordinates are comfortable collaborating because they don\u2019t have to compete for your support, Sinek says. This is not the case in unsupportive environments, where support and caring attention are given so rarely (and usually only to those who earn the most profit for the company) that coworkers see each other as rivals for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStress and anxiety at work have less to do with the work we do and more to do with weak management and leadership.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t prioritize your subordinates\u2019 needs and see them as assets to maximize profits, you become a threat to them. This kind of climate is a breeding ground for stress and anxiety. Instead of focusing on bringing value, employees focus on protecting themselves and their careers rather than collaborating or finding innovative ways to help the company as a whole. This leaves the company divided and stagnant, unable to effectively counter external threats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
