    "In the military, they give medals to people who are willing to sacrifice themselves, so that others may gain. In business, we give bonuses to people who are willing to sacrifice others so we may gain." What an awesome paradox Simon.

      @Sheerluck Holmes, agreed. I'm in the military (UK) and see that mentality *all* the time with Officers. If the other side of the swamp was their promotion, they would sooner use you to step on, rather than get dirty themselves.

      Since Simon Sinek refers to biology and nature. In nature you really find both forms of structure or behavior. Mostly it depends if the others belong to your own species, group, family etc.
      Or if they are a rival in resources (territory, food, sexual partners, safety), or if they form a resource themselves for your own or your groups benefit. Just like the pilot only felt emotionally obliged to the people he protected.
      So it's no surprise that both phenomenons manifest themselves also in our societies. And sometimes even overlap.

    What an astounding, thought provoking, talk. "The cost of leadership is self-interest. If you're not willing to give up your perks when it matters, then you probably shouldn't get promoted. You might be an authority but you will not be a leader. Leadership comes at a cost. You don't get to do less work when you get more senior, you have to do more work and the more work you have to do is to put yourself at risk to look after others. That is the anthropological definition of what a leader is." Absolutely spot on. This entire quote speaks volumes of information and i could not be more grateful to have seen this. Thank you for this perspective, it is a wonderful place to view.

      Psychologist of families says
      If you have a child of age 1,5 years old, you should avoid bad habits....like scrolling social media.
      at this age children´s brain notices very much the behavior of the parents
      If you constantly look into the smartphone, and wear the smratphone everywehre
      the 1,5 years old baby...."installls a program into its brain"....I have to get this "thing"... otherwise I will not survive without it.
      Its the age when the baby´s brain is absorbing information about how to survive...
      so leave the phone in some other room...and do the habits that you want your child to learn.

    Whenever I need it, which isn't often, but regularly, I watch the part where he explains Self-Interest as the Cost of Leadership which kicks in at 24:00. We are OK with the perks and higher pay and status that leaders get because we trust that when the time comes, they will sacrifice themselves for us and protect us from outside dangers. They are never supposed to sacrifice us for themselves. I'm so all in with this approach. Our leaders need to protect and support us, that's the value they bring to us and we'll push ourselves to be the best we can if we trust that they have our back.

      I was a 1st Lieutenant in the army.
      I refused to use the officers mess, the officers cantine, instead, i ate and drank with the privates.
      To much dismay of the other officers, of course.
      I should annoy the living piss out of the troops, command them into silliness, brake them, be... an 'officer' (read, jackass).
      I cleaned the toilets with them, I peeled potatoes with them, I did everything they did.
      When we were on maneuvers, I often asked my men for advice, rather than just command them, because, even though 'merely' a private, this private could have a marvelous idea I did not think off.
      We discussed the upsides and downsides of ideas.
      Now, here's the funny part...
      When others 'commanded' the same troops, they did not really feel up to do it.
      I, on the other hand, only had to ask, and they went further than I asked them to.

    "Why Leaders Eat Last"
    This reminds me of a university visiting prof that taught a two semester course in human physiology I took, years ago.
    He was ex-military, having been an officer in the US army where he marched soldiers around a desert to study dehydration and acclimation to heat over time.
    He once said that a good officer always made sure the troops ate first. He then admitted that the officers, eating later ate far, far better food.

It takes time to explain things in a manner where people can relate. He did a good job with the explanations. Especially when he was talking about name brands. Also, in my opinion, understanding brings clarity and change and helps overcome fear and prejudices. Really liked the presentation.

    I can tell you why I eat last. I am a Construction Manager, big jobsites, big crews. When work is on, it's ON.... lot's of dangerous activities in construction. Everyone needs to focus.
    When lunchtime comes and the guys sit down to relax, that's when I go out to talk to them. Real leaders care about people, and they know non-work conversation is the way to get to know them. I spend lunchtime forming relationships, sharing what we care about outside of work. I pride myself on forming high performance teams that work together to accomplish amazing things. Lunchtime is too important a time for a real leader to sit locked away in the office eating and reading the internet.

    I've been studying leadership deeply for 22 years. Executing the principles I've learned along the way to gain my own insight into what works and doesn't. I've been leading high tech teams for 20years in the Silicon Valley. I can easily say, this leadership video may be the best I've ever seen. If you want to build a team that is a powerhouse and where people are happy, do as Simon says. 'If you are willing to sacrifice yourself so others may gain, you are a leader'. Sadly, most managers these days have never studied leadership and are fairly poor at what they do.

    So true when he says, “You might have authority but that doesn’t make you a leader.” So many people in places of authority abuse it instead of taking it as an opportunity to help be in a position to help build others up. A leader is one who gives us their time and their energy without expecting anything in return. Leadership is difficult because you can’t give time and energy to everyone but effort should be given to make people feel safe.

    The Title was the first lesson in leadership I ever learned as a young man as a recruit in the U.S. Marines. My squad ate before me and it was my responsibility to know which recruits were 'Diet' Recruits and which were Dbl Ration ones. After they went through the line and were fed, then I ate. The Platoon Guide or Senior Recruit ate last of all. Then the D.I.s......I can still eat a full meal in about 4 minutes. LOL.....and I'm past 50 LOL

      I don't really understand this leadership lesson. In the example that he gives with the alpha, they get the benefits so that they can be in top shape to protect the rest of the herd/pride/whatever. How does you eating last relate to that?

    • @legpack
      @legpack 7 лет назад +26

      Sam Jacob This guy actually talked about it. They eat last because it creates a family like bond. A father will give his food to his child if they both starves. And if the child then becomes better off, he will help the father.

    • @MrNevenon
      @MrNevenon 7 лет назад +10

      Yet there is another argument: Most of the actual physical work done in military gets done by soldiers, and not by officers. Before the group eats, the officer can put out orders what has to be done after having eaten. So obviously it is more efficient that the soldiers eat first so that they're able to pick up work as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the officer has time to think about next steps etc.

    • @BLohr707

Serve others, giving makes you happier, do the golden rule, treat people as we wanted to be treated, and just like Jesus said, whoever wants to be a leader need to be the least first, which is serve others, with our effort, energy and time. And you make it more clear. God's word never out of date. Thank you for your outstanding speech Mr.Simon. love it every second! 🕊🙏🏽❤️🌸👍🏽👏🏼

And you sometimes wouldn't even have thought about THAT solution, or way of approaching that task.
