Self-help β¦ Penny’s Take
Leaders Eat Last
Simon Sinek Β· 2014
70/100
π Worth It
Simon Sinek makes neuroscience and servant leadership genuinely accessible, and the Circle of Safety framework gives managers a memorable mental model they can actually use. The honest knock is that the core thesis gets repeated without deepening, and the case studies are selectively chosen to support a predetermined conclusion. It's a good starting point for leaders who want to think about culture and trust β just don't expect research-grade rigor.
