👋 Hello everyone,
Here are a couple of posts you might have missed:
📚 Book Summary:
This week's book is "Leaders Eat Last" by Simon Sinek.
Continuing the journey with Simon Sinek's work, "Leaders Eat Last," is the perfect sequel to "Start with Why." Embodying Sinek's great perspective, the book highlights leadership from a fresh angle - envisioning the organizational chart flipped upside down, where leaders uphold their teams from beneath, providing support and guidance. I also recommend following Sinek's insightful updates on LinkedIn.
One of my favorite take away from the book is this:
"All the perks, all the benefits and advantages you may get for the rank or position you hold, they aren't meant for you. They are meant for the role you fill. And when you move on from that role, which eventually you will, they will give the ceramic cup to the person who replaces you. Because you only ever deserved a styrofoam cup."
✅ Actionable advice:
The book states, "The more attention leaders focus on their own wealth or power, the more they stop acting like leaders and start talking more of the attributes of tyrants." You, as a leader, need to be the energy source. That is your whole job. And your job is to transfer that energy to the people who actually do the work and make things happen.
