The present review tries to highlight the work and results of
Simon Sinek in the paper entitled Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams
Pull Together and Others Don’t, published by Publica Publishing House
(Bucharest 2014, ISBN 978-606-8360-94-2, the Romanian version
translated by Gabriel Cretu under the title Liderii mănâncă ultimii: de ce
unele echipe lucrează bine împreună, iar altele nu) in an atypical
approach, from the perspective of a reader trying to put into practice
the principles derived from the book, rather than following the classic
structure of a review. Therefore, the presentation is intended to be
more of a teaser and an invitation to read, than a review per se.
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, to learn more, to
do more, and to become something more than they are, then you are
called a leader”, is the quote considered as the key message of the book
by George J. Flynn (Lt.-gl. in the US Marine Corps), the person who
prefaces the book. The US general’s explanation is that “when leaders
inspire those they lead, people think of a better future, invest time and
effort to learn more, do more for their organizations, and become
leaders themselves along the way.”
