What we can all learn from Simon Sinek."},"content":{"rendered":"

We all ask ourselves what makes a good leader, especially if we find ourselves in a position of leadership. It\u2019s a universal question that has very complicated answers, why some people choose to follow and believe in another. This question also has huge implications for the workplace. Good leadership is essential to enable your employees and drive success. Simon Sinek is a businessman with a twist. Simon refers to himself as an optimist and has written several inspirational books on what creates a leader.<\/span><\/p>\n

Simon\u2019s first book was \u201cStart with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action\u201d this hit the market and created waves. His second book \u201cLeaders Eat Last\u201d made just as many waves as his first. The idea of this book was based in the concept of how can your team perform if you are not inspiring them. Simon explores the concept of investing in everyone on your team first, before yourself, or as the title alludes to, you let your team reap the rewards first and you as a leader eat last, even if it\u2019s just scraps. This book is full of unique analogies, from the marine core where teams die for one another, to understanding the biology of the workplace. While I won\u2019t bore you with chemical balances in the brain I would highly recommend this read, but if you don\u2019t have time here are my favourite takeaways:<\/span><\/p>\n
