Imagine a world where almost everyone wakes up inspired to go to work, feels trusted and valued throughout the day, and then returns home feeling fulfilled.

This is not as impossible as it seems. 

Simon Sinek, traveling to various parts of the world, observed that some groups are so united that their members are willing to sacrifice everything for solidarity. In contrast, other groups remain divided and unsuccessful. Why does this happen?

The answer comes from a conversation with a US Marine Corps officer. When asked why the Marines are so successful, he replied: "Leaders eat last." Sinek realized that this is indeed the case. In the military, the lowest-ranking members eat first, while the higher-ups wait until the end. This symbolic act in the dining hall is reflected on the battlefield, where leaders are ready to sacrifice for the good of the rest.

In the modern workplace, where cynicism and selfishness prevail, successful organizations build trust and cooperation. Their leaders create the "circle of safety." When everyone feels safe and connected, they focus their energy on the common goal.

In the book, Sinek also explores the leadership challenge for Millennials, who seek work with purpose and a sense of mission. If organizations manage to create a Circle of Safety, then Millennials are willing to dedicate themselves to the collective goal.

Through fascinating research and real-life stories, the book demonstrates that leaders who eat last are rewarded with dedicated and effective collaborators. It is a recipe that works exceptionally well.
