The answer is actually quite simple: biology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It all comes down to hormones, Sinek says. Hormones evolved over eons to help us survive by controlling our emotions and moderating our behavior. This effects remains the same today as they did thousands of years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Dopamine<\/em>&nbsp;rewards us with happy excitement whenever we complete a task, such as finding something we\u2019ve been searching for etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>S<em>erotonin<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>oxytocin<\/em>&nbsp;affect our social lives by helping us form relationships with other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then there are&nbsp;<em>endorphins,<\/em>&nbsp;which disguise exhaustion and pain as physical pleasure. Endorphins are the reason why we leave the gym aglow after a hard day of training and just can\u2019t wait to go back for more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thousands of years ago, endorphins would have helped a village\u2019s hunters continue the hunt and bring back meat to their hungry families. Despite their physical exhaustion. Today, they inspire professional athletes, such as runners, to achieve their peak performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to helping us survive, hormone-driven behavior is also responsible for creating the basic template for social hierarchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In hunter-gatherer societies, for example, a rush of endorphins allowed hunters to push for miles and miles in order to secure meat for the community, which in turn earned them the privileges of higher status. Weaker individuals, who for one reason or another couldn\u2019t participate in the hunt, had to accept less prestigious roles, such as gathering fruits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This distinction between the \u201cstrong\u201d and the \u201cweak\u201d was the first step on the path towards social hierarchy. Yet, while certainly being responsible for these class distinctions, hormones also add cohesion to these hierarchical structures by giving the weaker individuals a serotonin- or oxytocin-based warm feeling towards one another as well as the leader, rather than destructive stings of jealousy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-amazon wp-block-embed-amazon\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don&#039;t\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"640\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com.au\/kp\/card?preview=inline&#038;linkCode=ll1&#038;ref_=k4w_oembed_dSIo1R0BbcdXop&#038;asin=0670923176&#038;tag=bywineexecu09-22\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leaders Eat Last Key Idea #2: A feeling of safety is our main engine of progress and must be ensured by the group and its leader.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to survival, living in a group offers many perks, the most important of which being that we don\u2019t have to face threats alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This provides us with a feeling of safety that allows us to concentrate on making progress rather than avoiding threats. In prehistoric times, we found danger around every corner: we had to protect ourselves from predators, other people and diseases, while simultaneously trying to secure food and shelter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Living in a group, however, allows us to divvy up the tasks necessary for self-preservation, thus enabling us to concentrate on other specific projects, such as fashioning better tools. These, in turn, help us progress as societies. As such, our brains have evolved to prioritize feeling safe, which is why we now do strange things like stay in jobs we hate simply because they make us feel secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But safety doesn\u2019t just come out of nowhere: it is a group\u2019s leaders who draw a&nbsp;<em>circle<\/em>&nbsp;<em>of<\/em>&nbsp;<em>safety<\/em>&nbsp;around their community members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This circle of safety describes a group of people who share common values and beliefs, and strive to protect one another from threats. Within this circle, members can trust each other and thus pool their resources in order to progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it is the leader who determines just how far the circle extends. For example, Bob Chapman altered the course of management history at HayssenSandiacre by radically expanding the circle of safety, allowing all employees free access to company goods and services. Working in a safe and trusting environment created a bond between the company\u2019s employees, who even began helping each other even in times of personal crisis. Some even transferred their own paid vacation days to those in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given that living in a group makes us feel safe today just as it did when we lived in caves, we also need a leader who can help us pool our resources and achieve progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-amazon wp-block-embed-amazon\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Find Your Why: A Practical Guide for Discovering Purpose for You and Your Team\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"640\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com.au\/kp\/card?preview=inline&#038;linkCode=ll1&#038;ref_=k4w_oembed_kk7Rwq89s1bPAd&#038;asin=0241279267&#038;tag=bywineexecu09-22\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leaders Eat Last Key Idea #3: Today, the leader decides a company\u2019s culture and values, and thus their employees\u2019 mentality.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>When we imagine a CEO, we often picture someone who seals the deals and sends profits through the roof. However, successfully running a company has as much to do with creating the culture as it does with managing finances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because a company is more than merely the sum of its buildings, investors and workforce. It also embodies a culture that dictates how employees approach various problems, treat customers, and prioritize values. And because leaders, such as CEOs, determine how the company is run, they also craft its culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can learn a bit about how this works by looking at the history of Goldman Sachs: between 1970 and 1990, the company operated under the motto \u201clong-term greedy,\u201d showing a willingness to stand by clients even if that meant short-term financial losses. Since the 1990s, however, CEO Lloyd C. Blankfein and company president Gary D. Cohn shifted the company\u2019s focus to short-term profits, even when they come at the client\u2019s expense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Company culture doesn\u2019t just affect leadership \u2013 it stretches all the way down the hierarchy by setting the standards that employees have to meet in order to get hired and ultimately stay with the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One extraordinary example of how company culture influences staff can be found in the bravery of the employees at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, which insists that the guests\u2019 interests come before those of the company\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2008, the hotel was attacked by terrorists, and a number of the employees who had fled actually returned to help the guests, some even forming human shields to protect fleeing hotel visitors! Of all the people who were lost that day, half were hotel staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve learned about how leadership looks, the following book summarys will deal with the drastic effects of bad leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-amazon wp-block-embed-amazon\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don&#039;t\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"640\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com.au\/kp\/card?preview=inline&#038;linkCode=ll1&#038;ref_=k4w_oembed_dSIo1R0BbcdXop&#038;asin=0670923176&#038;tag=bywineexecu09-22\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leaders Eat Last Key Idea #4: Our responsibility comes from our proximity to and empathy for others, without which we can cause great harm.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Being in a leadership role doesn\u2019t necessarily mean you\u2019re a force of good. When the bond between the leaders and the team is somehow severed, the consequences can be horrific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In essence, this is because responsibility is actually about caring for other people; when we\u2019re removed from the people for whom we are responsible, we\u2019re less cautious about the damage we cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our feeling of responsibility comes from our&nbsp;<em>empathy<\/em>, the ability to put ourselves in someone else\u2019s shoes. Without empathy, we risk becoming emotionally removed from decisions that affect others. And if we add physical distance to the mix, it leads to&nbsp;<em>abstraction<\/em>, where the consequences of our actions seem less real than they otherwise would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We see evidence of abstraction in the&nbsp;<em>Milgram<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Experiment<\/em>, in which one group of volunteers, called Teachers, were told to push buttons that would inflict electric shocks of increasing intensity \u2013 from a mild sting to a potentially lethal jolt \u2013 on other participants, called Learners. Unbeknownst to the Teachers, the Learners were all actors who weren\u2019t actually being shocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While many participants expressed great discomfort at inflicting apparent harm onto the Learners, Milgram found that the less proximity a Teacher had to a Learner, the more likely they were to continue the experiment. In fact, more than half the participants of one particular group, who could neither see nor hear the writhing and screams of agony from the Learners, eventually administered what would have been deadly voltage!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When abstraction occurs, we begin to prioritize our interests over other people\u2019s, which can lead us to actively make decisions at others\u2019 expense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider the maiden voyage of the Titanic, for example. To the management, the passenger\u2019s lives were mere abstractions, which is why they decided to cut the cost of additional lifeboats. Although additional lifeboats wouldn\u2019t have prevented the Titanic from sinking, this kind of callous decision-making contributed to many unnecessary deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-amazon wp-block-embed-amazon\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Find Your Why: A Practical Guide for Discovering Purpose for You and Your Team\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"640\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com.au\/kp\/card?preview=inline&#038;linkCode=ll1&#038;ref_=k4w_oembed_kk7Rwq89s1bPAd&#038;asin=0241279267&#038;tag=bywineexecu09-22\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leaders Eat Last Key Idea #5: Bad leadership has contributed to modern-day selfishness and the dehumanization of others.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>As we\u2019ve already seen, being part of a group offers us a feeling of safety and opportunity for progress. Conversely, feeling alone and threatened makes us selfish and causes us to dehumanize others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We see this easily when we examine the&nbsp;<em>baby<\/em>&nbsp;<em>boomers<\/em>, or the generation born after World War II. Having grown up spoiled by a thriving economy and outnumbering their parents\u2019 generation, they became more selfish than their parents. In addition, the natural instinct for the younger generation to oppose the values of the previous one made the baby boomers more self-centered and critical of authority than their parents, who had survived the war by pulling together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This preference for self-centered behavior over solidarity can be seen in how the baby boomers welcomed President Ronald Reagan\u2019s handling of the air traffic controllers\u2019 strike in 1981. Reagan fired 11,000 striking workers, siding with companies who opposed the air traffic controllers\u2019 demands for better payment and prioritized profits over the workers\u2019 well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And once we prioritize the pursuit of profits over all else, it can lead to the dehumanization of others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is due, in part, to the technology that makes global business possible. Because businesses operate on such an enormous scale, it\u2019s easier to think of people as abstractions, such as consumers, shareholders or expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re therefore more likely to&nbsp;<em>dehumanize<\/em>&nbsp;others, i.e., to see them as tools that fulfill a specific purpose, than we are to treat them as living, breathing people with their own wants and needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think, for example, of the 2009 salmonella outbreak that took the lives of nine people and contaminated hundreds more. How did this outbreak occur? The Peanut Corporation of America delivered contaminated peanuts to more than three hundred companies, thus allowing the disease to spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truly horrifying part is that this was no accident: the PCA management knowingly shipped contaminated peanuts just so it could maintain its cash flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-amazon wp-block-embed-amazon\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don&#039;t\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"640\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com.au\/kp\/card?preview=inline&#038;linkCode=ll1&#038;ref_=k4w_oembed_dSIo1R0BbcdXop&#038;asin=0670923176&#038;tag=bywineexecu09-22\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leaders Eat Last Key Idea #6: Modern society has become addicted to better and faster performance.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>What do you think of when you hear the word \u201caddiction\u201d? Probably things like alcohol or drugs. It may surprise you, but you can also be addicted to performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This addiction is intimately tied to our biology. Whereas the release of dopamine was once linked directly to our survival, nowadays it\u2019s tied to our job performance, rewarding us when we achieve better and faster performance. Many companies looking to increase their production welcome this, all too easily forgetting the stability provided by long-term goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider the company America Online. The part of their staff responsible for customer acquisition came up with offers for \u201cfree\u201d hours as a way to entice new customers. These employees were encouraged to focus on that singular area of performance, i.e., get as many people signed up as possible, and they eventually started making offers of 1,000 free hours per month!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although they were doing what they were told, they ended up costing the company a lot of money by not taking long-term consequences into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the fact that we\u2019re surrounded by all this amazing technology has shifted our attention from long-lasting value to getting a quick \u201cbuzz.\u201d Taking a look at any internet-based human rights campaign can show us why:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we \u201clike\u201d some human rights campaign \u2013 or anything, really \u2013 on Facebook, it triggers a dopamine response that gives us a rush of happiness for having completed a task. In order to prevent ourselves from becoming addicted to these little bursts of dopamine, we need to balance them out with a serotonin- and oxytocin-driven sacrifice, i.e., actually&nbsp;<em>going<\/em>&nbsp;somewhere to volunteer or building relationships with real people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem is that technology makes it easier and easier to just click \u201clike,\u201d and actual volunteer work stays just as hard as it always was. As a result, we become addicted to the \u201cquick fix.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So now we know what defines bad leadership. These final book summarys will not only discuss what it takes to be a leader, but to be a leader worth following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-amazon wp-block-embed-amazon\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Find Your Why: A Practical Guide for Discovering Purpose for You and Your Team\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"640\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com.au\/kp\/card?preview=inline&#038;linkCode=ll1&#038;ref_=k4w_oembed_kk7Rwq89s1bPAd&#038;asin=0241279267&#038;tag=bywineexecu09-22\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leaders Eat Last Key Idea #7: Integrity and the ability to bond with others are essential for leadership.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>What do you think of when you imagine a good leader? You probably think about their specific skills and expertise that help them excel at what they do. In actuality, it all comes down to integrity and the ability to bond with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We need to be able to trust our leaders, which means they must have integrity. We all know that leaders are only human, and we therefore don\u2019t expect them to be perfect. What we do expect, however, is that they\u2019re honest and forthcoming about their mistakes and take responsibility for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The feeling of safety that is so vital to the group is built slowly over time upon a foundation of honesty and trust. A leader thus has an opportunity to set an example to others with her integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, in 2009, the Ralph Lauren Corporation learned that its Argentine branch had been involved in bribery. Rather than staging an elaborate cover-up, the leaders of the company instead informed the American authorities and even offered to aid them in the investigation. Although this course of action meant that the company had to pay over a million dollars in penalties, it was able to keep its integrity, and thus the trust of their customers and employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, once leaders have earned the trust of their group, they must keep that trust by bonding with others. Whether with their employees, customers, colleagues or rivals, it\u2019s important for a leader to maintain real connections in order to stay honest and focus on the needs of others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can see how a lack of bonding can affect leadership by looking at the US Congress. Until the 1990s, most congressmen and -women lived in Washington and thus communicated daily, which resulted in laws built upon close cooperation. Today, however, most members of Congress live elsewhere, and fly to Washington for a few days a week. The result? Some of the lowest approval ratings in congressional history!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-amazon wp-block-embed-amazon\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don&#039;t\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"640\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com.au\/kp\/card?preview=inline&#038;linkCode=ll1&#038;ref_=k4w_oembed_dSIo1R0BbcdXop&#038;asin=0670923176&#038;tag=bywineexecu09-22\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leaders Eat Last Key Idea #8: Being a leader means putting others ahead of yourself in order to fulfill a vision.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>When you head to the voting booth to vote for your country\u2019s next leader, what are some of the things you consider? What sort of personal qualities do you look for? What makes them a leader and not a \u201cregular person\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Essentially, a leader forges a vision for the future that the entire group feels inspired to fulfill. Although every group member has individual goals, the group as a whole needs purpose in order to remain cohesive, and that purpose comes from the leader\u2019s vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of Bill Gates, for example. His goal wasn\u2019t to earn billions of dollars, or even to build a great company. His dream was to put a computer on every desk. It is precisely this vision that ensures that Microsoft doesn\u2019t lose itself in the abundance of profits and possibilities, and instead remains a major force on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Counterintuitively, by providing a vision for the future, leaders actually serve the led, and not the other way around. Indeed, true leaders understand that their duty is to serve the people that follow them. Although leaders do enjoy certain privileges, these come at the cost of an enormous responsibility to the people they lead. In times of crisis, a true leader will use all his personal resources for the good of the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This principle takes on a quite literal form in the Marine Corps, where the most senior members always receive their meal last. This is neither an agreement nor an order, but a statement: leaders eat last. Only once they are able to put their own needs last can they say that they\u2019ve earned their status as leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The true meaning of the term \u201cleader\u201d can be found within the word itself: you must lead people in a certain direction, showing them the path and giving them a purpose to walk on it. And on that path, the leaders need to follow last in line to ensure that every member of the group makes it to the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-amazon wp-block-embed-amazon\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Find Your Why: A Practical Guide for Discovering Purpose for You and Your Team\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"640\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com.au\/kp\/card?preview=inline&#038;linkCode=ll1&#038;ref_=k4w_oembed_kk7Rwq89s1bPAd&#038;asin=0241279267&#038;tag=bywineexecu09-22\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Takeaways : Leaders Eat Last<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The key message in this book:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>True<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>leaders<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>prioritize<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>the<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>needs<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>of<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>the<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>group<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>over<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>their<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>own,<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>and<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>thus<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>ensure<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>that<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>the<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>group<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>as<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>a<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>whole<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>progresses.<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Because<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>a<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>leader\u2019s<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>vision<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>is<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>a<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>cause<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>for<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>action,<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>it\u2019s<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>important<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>to<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>ensure<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>that<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>these<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>leaders<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>are<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>a<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>force<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>for<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>good.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sinek Says: Your&nbsp;employees&nbsp;are&nbsp;your&nbsp;family.<br><\/strong>When you turn to your employees, view them as family members instead of subordinates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Set<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>a<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>vision.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you wonder how to manage your company, try to set a vision for the future, instead of concentrating on short-term goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Want to know more about me:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Connect on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/murrayslatter\/\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Checkout more <a href=\"https:\/\/murrayslatter.me\/?cat=22\">Book Review in this series<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Connect for more free <a href=\"https:\/\/share.hsforms.com\/1BOVrPBN0SZSyE6N4ppjRqAeiskf\">material and coaching<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Connect with our team at <a href=\"https:\/\/qfactor.com.au\/\">Qfactor<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why is our society set up the way it is today?
