Leaders Eat Last

This is a book about leadership, what leaders do and organizational culture.  Good leaders create a circle of physical & psychological safety within which every member of the team can flourish.  Watching Officers eat last on a visit to a Marine Corp unit he reflects on how leaders who put their own needs last in order to protect and serve the group create flourishing teams and organizations.  He goes on to connect this to the drivers of our behaviour and the neurotransmitters that have shaped our evolution.  The second part of the book looks at a wide range of corporate cultures – good and bad before ending with a plea for more leaders who can build cultures that allow their staff to flourish whilst acting with integrity.
