Think with Simon Sinek's tools
12 Stations through Sinek's two books, from the Why that gives work its purpose to the Circle of Safety that lets people pursue it, ending in a one-page plan of your own for a real team.
We do not re-summarise Start with Why; it has its own road. We connect two books: Start with Why's Golden Circle, put to work on real choices, then Leaders Eat Last's Circle of Safety and the leader who takes the cost first, with Sinek's brain-chemistry story read for what it is. The order is a teaching order designed by BookYol, not the author's own.

Destination: a Why and a Circle of Safety on one page
One page is written: your Why, your How verbs, who stands at the edge of your circle, one threat from inside to remove and one cost you take first, with a date to review it with the team.
