Tribal Leadership

Leveraging Natural Groups To Build Organizations That Thrive

“People always form tribes, and the dominant cultural stage (of the tribe) determines effectiveness. The way to move the entire tribe’s performance to the next level is to move the critical mass to the next stage. This process involves moving many people upward, individually, by facilitating them to use a different language, and to shift their behavior accordingly. As that happens, the tribe itself will produce a new, self-sustaining culture.

Each person in this tribe is on a journey through the stages, and the tribe makes that journey long or short. The job of a Tribal Leader is to expedite this journey for each person, so that a new critical mass forms. When that happens, the tribe will see itself as a tribe and embrace you as the leader. This is Tribal Leadership in a nutshell.”
