Lawrence's Take
"Sinek puts language to what great leaders feel in their gut: your people come first."
5 Key Takeaways
- Great leaders create a Circle of Safety so people can do their best work
- Cortisol cultures kill performance; oxytocin cultures fuel it
- Sacrifice short-term gain for long-term trust
- EDSO chemicals (endorphin, dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin) shape every team
- Leadership is a choice and a responsibility — not a rank
3 Action Steps
- Audit your team: is it a Circle of Safety or a Circle of Fear?
- Eat last this week — literally and metaphorically
- Replace one performance review with a development conversation
