7. Tribes aren’t so SQUISHY anymore !!
Instant
communication
and new
technologies are
all designed to
Connect Tribes

work
8. Why Should You Lead ?
And Why Now ?
Tribe of fellow people
waiting for you to
connect and lead them
where they want to go
Everyone in the
organization is
expected to lead
In today’s workplace,
it’s easier than ever
to change things
It’s engaging,
thrilling, profitable
and fun
9. It’s Good to be KING
• A king or the leader of the tribe
assembles his own geographically
based tribe and uses power to
enforce compliance
• The goal of the corporation is to
enrich the king and keep him in
power
• However if the tribe doesn’t like
the king, they’re now free to
leave
10. Stability is an Illusion
Marketing has changed everything,
it created leverage
Marketing freed and energized the
tribes
It challenged the status quo and
changed the idea of stability
11. A man with no
authority can become
a key figure.
Tribes give each of the
same opportunity.
Skills and Attitude
are essential,
Authority is not.
Leading from Bottom

18. •Fearis the strongest,
oldest and most hardwired
emotion

to implement it
• Fear of failure is overrated
• Accept constructive
criticism
19. The Peter Principle
Revisited
“In an hierarchy, every employee
tends to rise to his level of
Incompetency” – Dr. Lawrence
Peter
In every organization everyone
rises to level at which they
become Paralyzed with Fear.
The Essence of Leadership is
being aware of Fear
21. The Plurality Myth
To win elections you need
majority of the votes but
to lead a Tribe no such
rule applies. All you need
to need to do is Motivate
people who choose to
follow you.
22. Example: The Schoolteacher Experiment
Lessons Learnt:
• Tribes are increasingly
voluntary, no one is forced
to work for your firm or
attend your services.
• Great leaders don’t try to
please everyone.
• They realize that a motivated
connected tribe in the
midst of a movement is far
more powerful than a
larger group can ever be.
23. Virtuous Cycle v/s Exclusive Tribe
• Tribes that work better when they are bigger, Get
Bigger. Example: Political Parties
• But Bigger is not always the Better.
• Some tribes do well when they are small and
exclusive
It’s always a choice. Your Choice
24. Climbing Rock
“One person with a persistent
vision can make change happen”
How Chris Sharma and Obe Carrion
made the impossible route.
They Challenge status quo and
challenging status quo require
faith.
Heretics Don’t Settle
26. • Religion support the
status quo, Whereas
faith gives us belief to
change the status quo.
• Without religion its
easier for faith to flag.
• Heretics challenge a
given religion, but do it
from a very strong
foundation of faith.
27. Believe in Faith
• Religion and faith are
different.
• Heretics create their own
religion
• If Faith is the foundation
of a belief system, then
religion is the facade and
landscaping

30. Leadership always involve thinking and acting like the underdog
Manager react, Leaders Initiate
Leaders use change as chance to wreak some havoc on status quo
32. Music industry die because they didn’t have the heretic they needed and
their executive forgot to embrace their tribe .
They failed to understand the new thing is rarely as good as the old
thing was and 2nd their past performance is not guarantee of future
success.
Best time to change your business model is while you still have momentum
33.
34. Sheepwalking is the outcome of hiring people who have been raised to obedient
and giving them a brain dead job and enough fear to keep them in line.

• Don’t try to change the worldview of
the majority that is focusing on
maintaining status quo
• Carve out a new tribe with change
lovers and run with them instead
• The only certainty is that there’s a risk
• Initiative is rare
39. • If you hear my idea but don’t believe it, that’s my fault
• If you attend my presentation and you are bored, that’s my fault
• If I fail to persuade you to implement a policy that supports my tribe,
that’s due to my lack of passion, not your shortsightedness
• If you are a student and don’t learn what I am teaching, I have let you
down
Posture of a Leader
It’s easy to blame but it is not helpful!
40. People don’t like to Switch!
• To switch sides is to admit you made a
mistake

who want to be a part of a tribe rather than
who are already in a tribe

56. Which would you prefer – trial or error?
MYTHS
• Change happens overnight
• Big ideas happen in a flash
• Right answers succeed right away
“If an organization requires success before
commitment, it can have neither”
Testimony to the Same
Leadership is the ability to stick with a
dream for a long time – long enough
for critics to follow….
57. Positive Deviants
• Managers do not like deviants
• But leaders understand that change is
not only omnipresent but the key to
success
• We need more leaders – more agents
of change
• Give the positive deviant a spotlight,
encourage him to keep it up and
others to follow his lead
58. The Obligation
•All around us
- Children do not have enough to eat
- People can’t make it to high school
- Communities do not allow their members to ascend
- People are being brutally persecuted by their governments
• So the obligation : Don’t Settle when you have the advantages
59. Where credit is due!
• Leaders do not crave for credit
• For your mission to be successful – spread faith
and that you can do wanting others to take credit
• Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King never
whined for credit
The BIG YES!
THE BIG YES IS AVAILABLE FOR EVERY PERSON LUCKY ENOUGH TO TAKE IT
It is challenging but it is about leadership
60. Imagination!
IMAGINATION is more important than knowledge
Fierce Protection
• Compromise may expedite a project, but compromise
can kill it as well
• So dig in your heels and resist if you know you are right
ARE YOU SURE?????
61. Why not YOU, Why not NOW?
10 years ago, you needed to find a publisher that
would say yes if you wanted to publish a book
Today you can do it all by yourself. Visit Lulu.com and
you are done
Leaders do not need to wait for the right time
There’s no correlation between money, power or
education and great leadership
62. What Do You Have To Lose?
YAHOO and the PEANUT BUTTER Memo
• Brad Garlinghouse wrote pointed memo to his bosses outlining flaws
• Purpose was to incite a tiny tribe – the group that ran his company
• The memo got leaked
• He was no longer little known – People thought he was in trouble
• It started a series of events that led to CEO Terry Semel’s departure
• He didn’t leak the memo but shared an honest appraisal. If he were fired, many would hire him for his gumption & honesty
• After gaining credibility, paying his dues and doing the work, he had nothing to lose
• It was hard but worth it
63. Look of the LEADER
• They are there in every profession
• They come in all ages
• It isn’t about the gender
• Or the income or the geography
• LEADERS aren’t born
• They have one thing in common – the
DECISION to lead
64. ONE LAST THING – A Favor
Make a CHOICE. Be a LEADER.
Once you choose to lead, you’ll come under a lot of pressure to reconsider, to compromise
But you’ll also know that if you stay put, it isn’t that difficult after all
