Why It's On My Shelf
This book connects leadership behavior to human biology in a way that is easy to recognize once you see it. Sinek explains why people perform better when they feel protected by their leaders rather than pressured by them. For CIOs leading high-stress technology teams, the idea of creating a Circle of Safety is practical, not sentimental. I find it useful when morale dips or when internal competition starts to outweigh shared purpose.
