Tribes

Overview

Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us by Seth Godin explores how anyone can build a tribe—a group of people connected to each other, a leader, and an idea.

Core Concept

A tribe is any group of people, large or small, who are connected to one another, a leader, and an idea. The internet has eliminated barriers to leadership, allowing anyone to gather a tribe.

Three Steps to Building a Tribe

1. The Desire to Change Things: A shared vision for the future
2. The Ability to Connect: Building relationships and communication
3. The Willingness to Lead: Taking responsibility for the tribe

What Tribes Need
