It’s a fact of life: birds flock, fish school, people “tribe.” Malcolm Gladwell and other authors have written about how the fact that humans are genetically programmed to form “tribes” of 20-150 people has proven true throughout our species’ history. Every company in the word consists of an interconnected network of tribes (A tribe is defined as a group of between 20 and 150 people in which everyone knows everyone else, or at least knows of everyone else). In Tribal Leadership, Dave Logan, John King, and Halee Fischer-Wright show corporate leaders how to first assess their company’s tribal culture and then raise their companies’ tribes to unprecedented heights of success. In a rigorous eight-year study of approximately 24,000 people in over two dozen corporations, Logan, King, and Fischer-Wright discovered a common theme: the success of a company depends on its tribes, the strength of its tribes is determined by the tribal culture, and a thriving corporate culture can be established by an effective tribal leader. Tribal Leadership will show leaders how to employ their companies’ tribes to maximize productivity and profit: the author’s research, backed up with interviews ranging from Brian France (CEO of NASCAR) to “Dilbert” creator Scott Adams, shows that over three quarters of the organizations they’ve studied have tribal cultures that are adequate at best.

Notice: This is a Summary & Analysis of Tribal Leadership. THIS IS NOT THE ORIGINAL BOOK. Learn How to Leverage Natural Groups to Build a Thriving Organization Who is in your tribe? Your tribe is filled with people who you work and live closely with. These are the people you interact with regularly, perhaps you have their number in your phone and know their email by heart. A tribe within an organization is similar to a village within a nation, each has employees and citizens who play an integral role in the success of the company or town. But the performance of your tribe lies solely on one person: the tribal leader. Culture consultants David Logan, John King, and physician Halee Fischer-Wright aim to teach you how tribes and strong tribal leadership can help launch your organization to success and revitalize your career. Through extensive research and interviews from business leaders, the authors describe the five stages that tribes go through within an organization; the higher the stage, the more opportunity for success. Tribal Leadership will teach you how to identify each stage and how to and lead your tribe to victory. As you read, you’ll learn the power of groups of three, how to move your tribal members through each culture stage, and how focusing on the competition can be detrimental for collaboration and innovation.

getAbstract Summary: Get the key points from this book in less than 10 minutes.Tribes naturally form within organizations. Wherever people gather to live and work, groups of between 20 and 150 members coalesce - parallel to villages within nations - and go through five stages of development. Culture consultants David Logan and John King, writing with physician Halee Fischer-Wright, teach you how tribes and proficient tribal leadership can help you work and play well with others and bolster your career. The authors conducted extensive research on corporate tribes and interviewed many business leaders about the five-stage evolution of tribes within their organizations. Though the report seems somewhat less concrete in identifying exactly how people coalesce to form tribes, it is accessible reading, certainly compared to most organizational sociology. getAbstract finds that this exploration of tribes and teams can open readers' eyes to the way people function within groups. Managers will find it revelatory, as will all those who can succeed only by working and playing well with others.Book Publisher:Copyright 2008 by David Logan and John King.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Tribes are the basic building block of any large human effort, including earning a living. They influence more than teams, entire companies, and even superstar CEOs. They decide whether the new leader will flourish or get taken out. #2 The Tribal Leader is the person who upgrades the tribe, or the group of people, as the tribe embraces the leader. The leader and the tribe create each other. #3 The principles behind the stories in this book are based on research. Change the language in a tribe, and you have changed the tribe itself. For most people, language is something they just live with and don’t think about. #4 The five stages of Tribal Leadership are the early stages of your career when you don’t know people and it’s hard to get traction for your ideas. You’ll recognize some groups of people who have gotten stuck at this stage and built their own part of the tribe accordingly.

The New York Times, BusinessWeek, and Wall Street Journal Bestseller that redefined what it means to be a leader. Since it was first published almost a decade ago, Seth Godin's visionary book has helped tens of thousands of leaders turn a scattering of followers into a loyal tribe. If you need to rally fellow employees, customers, investors, believers, hobbyists, or readers around an idea, this book will demystify the process. It's human nature to seek out tribes, be they religious, ethnic, economic, political, or even musical (think of the Deadheads). Now the Internet has eliminated the barriers of geography, cost, and time. Social media gives anyone who wants to make a difference the tools to do so. With his signature wit and storytelling flair, Godin presents the three steps to building a tribe: the desire to change things, the ability to connect a tribe, and the willingness to lead. If you think leadership is for other people, think again—leaders come in surprising packages. Consider Joel Spolsky and his international tribe of scary-smart software engineers. Or Gary Vaynerhuck, a wine expert with a devoted following of enthusiasts. Chris Sharma led a tribe of rock climbers up impossible cliff faces, while Mich Mathews, a VP at Microsoft, ran her internal tribe of marketers from her cube in Seattle. Tribes will make you think—really think—about the opportunities to mobilize an audience that are already at your fingertips. It's not easy, but it's easier than you think.

Reservation politics certainly affect the quality of life in Indian communities, and the outlook for Indian self-determination movement cannot be assessed without an understanding of tribal government. The authors chose conversations with selected political leaders on the reservation as the best way of leaming about tribal government.
