Emmanuel Iwuh's Key Ideas from Leaders Eat Last
by Simon Sinek

The primary role of leadership is to protect employees - even from each other. A good leader creates a safe community where everyone feels like they belong. Then, the only threats are external, and the team will naturally band together to fight them.  Empower your employees and they will be more proactive about and invested in their work. Leaders who simply bark orders are training their team to blindly follow without thinking.

When resources are scarce and we are facing difficult times, it’s only natural to band together to increase our chances of success. However, as our success grows, we may fall prey to greed. Over time, this greed causes us to stop looking out for others, and only for ourselves.  Social media plays a role in our drift away from humanity too. As we move towards more virtual relationships, we lose the human touch that makes them special. Although we may tell ourselves that social media fulfils our need for socialization, the truth is, we are lonelier and more isolated as a result of it.
