4. TRIBAL LEADERSHIP

5. “birds flock,
fishes school,
people..... tribe”
A tribe is a group of 20 to 150
people who know one another
enough that, if they saw anoth
er
walking down the street,
would stop and say “hello.”

6. “tribal leadership is a
mutual relationship
between the tribes
leaders and members”
Leaders are not superstars.
Instead, they work hard to
upgrade themselves and
their tribe, and are
recognized as leaders due
to the success they bring
to the tribe.

7. TRIBAL
CULTURE

8. Culture is a product of
the language people use
They help bring groups
to unity by recognizing
their ‘tribalness’
He goal of tribal
leadership is to learn
how to get people
‘unstuck’ – from
unhelpful language and
behaviors
Tribal Leaders are the
people who focus their
efforts on upgrading the
tribal culture.
Turn peoples performance fr
om adequate to
outstanding.

11. They feel alienated
from others, and are
bitter about the unfair world
they live in
Life sucks
They see that others
have power and good
things in life that they
lack
My life sucks
This relationship
structure gives
them perceived control but ta
kes up energy
I’m great (and you are not)
Their language centers on
infinite potential, and
how to make history
Life’s great
People are now ready
for genuine partnership. Peop

are proud of
their tribe
We’re great
5 stages

12. “do what I must to survive”
Most people are socially alienated, a
nd the theme of their words is that li
fe has given them a bad deal,
so it’s ok to do whatever it takes to s
urvive.”

13. “this can’t be helped”,
Most people do the minimum to get by, show
almost no initiative or passion, and engage in
passive-aggressive behavior.

14. “few people can match my skills”
People engage in anything that’s going on,
with energy and commitment, but when you
listen closely, they talk mostly about
themselves and focus on appearing smarter
and better
than others.

15. “what’s the next right thing to do?”
Teams are the norm, focused around shared
values and a common purpose. Information
moves freely throughout the group. People’s
relationships are built on shared
values.

16. “collaboration, elegant design, being
ethical?”
People in this culture can find a way to work
with almost anyone, provided their
commitment to values is at the same
intensity as their own.

LEADERSHIP

19. • people collaborate and work
toward a noble cause
• fear and stress go down as
the ‘interpersonal friction’ of
working together decreases
• the entire tribe shifts from
resisting leadership to seeking
it out
• organizational learning
becomes effortless
• setting and implementing a
successful competitive strategy
becomes stunningly easy
Being a tribal leader

20. “remember that tribal leadership is not about
changing ideas or gaining knowledge; it is about
changing language and relationships.
It’s not about intellectualizations; it’s about
actions.”
