Leaders Eat Last Outside Reviews

Stephan Vaughan in his review of, "Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don't" explains that he found the ideas presented in this book to be very thought provoking. He felt the examples presented in the book really supported Simon Sinek's ideas well. For example, Simon Sinek gives the example of Jack Welch a former CEO of GE who is viewed very highly in the business world. Sinenk argues that his contributions to GE were very short- term so he did not actually better GE and its employees. Additionally, Stephan Vaughan argues that some people may find this book to be too "warm and fuzzy". There isn't really a plan that can be put into action to create this environment it is more just an idea (Vaughan, 2014, pg. 797). Overall, however, Stephan Vaughan's review of this book was very positive. 

"This book is as refreshingly simple and easy to follow as it is thought-provoking, and it gets a hearty recommendation from me."
