The Leadership Lesson That Changes Everything

The title comes from a simple but profound military tradition: officers eat last. It's a gesture that signals to every team member — I will not eat until you are taken care of. Sinek argues that this selfless instinct is the foundation of every great organisation, and that when leaders prioritise their people over profits, remarkable things happen.
