Lead, Read, Repeat Book Club: Leaders Eat Last

Leadership comes in many forms. We can be leaders of self, leaders of teams, or leaders of organizations. Leadership skills may come more naturally to some and be challenging to others, but there is always an opportunity for additional development. In this book club, we will focus on books that expand our minds, teach us something new, and help us become better leaders. Whatever your leadership position, this book club will focus on impacting your relationships with others, and will meet 4 times a year.

 

Our February book is "Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don't" by Simon Sinek.

In his work with organizations around the world, Simon Sinek noticed that some teams trust each other so deeply that they would literally put their lives on the line for each other. Other teams, no matter what incentives are offered, are doomed to infighting, fragmentation and failure. Why?"
