This document summarizes the key points from the book "Reinventing Organizations" about different levels of organizational development:
- Red organizations rely on fear and power dynamics, focusing on short-term chaos. Amber organizations use rigid hierarchy and processes for long-term stability. Orange prioritize beating competitors through innovation and accountability.
- Green organizations focus on empowering employees through values-driven culture. The most advanced, Teal organizations, operate like networks without bosses, integrating different views and evolving purpose rather than competition.
- To change, organizations should adopt self-management without hierarchy, accept individual wholeness over masks, and continuously adapt purpose rather than simply executing it. The presenter provides contact information to
The document discusses the concept of a movement and what is needed to start one. It states that a movement is when many people feel connected and energized to work towards something better. Movements are thrilling and easier than ever to create using online tools. However, what is often missing is leadership to transform a shared interest into a goal, provide the tools for better communication, and help the movement grow. Great leaders empower groups to communicate and make connections with each other, which allows a movement to take off when ideas are shared and people support each other in enacting change.

It outlines several global sustainability challenges and argues that the current division of society into public, private, and social sectors is not working to address these problems. A new approach is needed where leaders from all sectors collaborate to define policies that support societal evolution by focusing on values and consciousness over narrow self-interest. Cultural transformation begins with leaders' personal growth and can be measured to facilitate organizational and societal management and improvement.

Next steps are to develop propositions to help organizations and Influencers work together, and test these ideas with businesses.
This document discusses the concept of tribes and how they relate to leadership. Some key points:

Godin argues that tribes, or groups connected by a shared interest and means of communication, are increasingly important. He believes that everyone now has an opportunity to lead a tribe by promoting an idea they are passionate about. Godin provides examples of individuals who have successfully led tribes and created movements by motivating and connecting tribe members. He asserts that new communication technologies make it easier than ever for people to share ideas and tighten tribal connections, and that tribal leadership can be a fun and rewarding way to enact positive change.

Psicología de las masas y análisis del yo sigmund freudEdorta Agirre
El documento analiza la psicología de las masas y cómo se forma el "alma colectiva" cuando los individuos se agrupan en una multitud. Explica que en una multitud los individuos pierden su personalidad e inhibiciones y se dejan llevar por los instintos inconscientes comunes, actuando de forma diferente a como lo harían individualmente. También señala que las masas son muy influenciables y sugestionables, pudiendo adoptar actitudes extremas. Finalmente, discute cómo la libido y los lazos afectivos mantienen unida a la
1) The document discusses how current education systems focus too heavily on developing academic abilities like critical thinking and memorization, rather than other types of intelligence. This results in many highly intelligent people feeling like failures.
2) It argues that in today's changing economy, a wider range of skills are needed like creativity, adaptability, and problem-solving. But education still emphasizes academic subjects and standardized testing over developing these skills.
3) For countries and individuals to thrive, education must shift to a new paradigm that recognizes the diversity of human intelligence and nurtures people's creative talents. Academics abilities should not be confused with intelligence.
This document summarizes key points from the book "On Becoming a Leader" by Warren Bennis. It discusses:
1) The importance of leaders in providing guidance and inspiration.
2) How current leaders often focus more on management than visionary leadership.
3) The process of becoming a true leader, which involves self-reflection, gaining perspective, developing vision and integrity.
4) Keys to leadership include passion, curiosity, and daring to take risks and shape the future rather than just reacting to current realities.

1. Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us (Seth Godin)
JOEL SPOLSKY IS CHANGING THE WORLD.
A tribe is a group of people connected to one another, connected to a leader, and connected to an
idea.
Tribes need leadership. Sometimes one person leads, sometimes more. People want connection and
growth and something new. They want change.
You can’t have a tribe without a leader—and you can’t be a leader without a tribe.
Long, Strange Trip
Human beings can’t help it: we need to belong. One of the most powerful of our survival
mechanisms is to be part of a tribe, to contribute to (and take from) a group of like-minded people.
The Opportunity
Something to Believe In Tribes are about faith—about belief in an idea and in a community. And
they are grounded in respect and admiration for the leader of the tribe and for the other members as
well.
Fear of change is built into most organisms, because change is the first sign of risk. Fear of change
in a huge factory is appropriate when efficiency is the order of the day.
Why Should You Lead? And Why Now?
Leadership Is Not Management
Leadership, on the other hand, is about creating change that you believe in.
It’s Good to Be King
Corporations are traditionally built around the CEO, with all his perks and power. The closer you
get to being king/CEO, the more influence and power you have. The goal of the corporation is to
enrich the king and to keep him in power. And then, recently, something happened. Marketing
changed everything. Marketing created leverage. Marketing certainly changed the status quo. Most
of all, marketing freed and energized the tribe. If the tribe doesn’t like the king, they’re now free to
leave.
Marketing is the act of telling stories about the things we make—stories that sell and stories that
spread.
Stability Is an Illusion
Partisans It’s a criticism when you throw that word at a politician, but all tribes are made up of
partisans, the more partisan the better.
Making a Ruckus
New rule: If you want to grow, you need to find customers who are willing to join you or believe in
you or donate to you or support you. And guess what? The only customers willing to do that are
looking for something new. The growth comes from change and light and noise.
The Market Requires Change and That Requires Leadership
Leaders, on the other hand, don’t care very much for organizational structure or the official blessing
of whatever factory they work for. They use passion and ideas to lead people, as opposed to using
threats and bureaucracy to manage them. Leaders must become aware of how the organization
2. works, because this awareness allows them to change it.
What Does It Take to Create a Movement?
The answer, as you’ve probably guessed, is that there’s a difference between telling people what to
do and inciting a movement. The movement happens when people talk to one another, when ideas
spread within the community, and most of all, when peer support leads people to do what they
always knew was the right thing. Great leaders create movements by empowering the tribe to
communicate.
Improving a Tribe As we saw earlier, it takes only two things to turn a group of people into a tribe:
A shared interest A way to communicate The communication can be one of four kinds: Leader to
tribe Tribe to leader Tribe member to tribe member Tribe member to outsider So a leader can help
increase the effectiveness of the tribe and its members by transforming the shared interest into a
passionate goal and desire for change; providing tools to allow members to tighten their
communications; and leveraging the tribe to allow it to grow and gain new members.
What Tribes Leave Behind
unlike the residue of stuff, the tribal connections you can create with leadership grow; they don’t
fade. As the organization matures and touches more people, those connections lead to more
connections. The tribe thrives; it delivers value and it spreads. Internet folks call this viral activity,
or a virtuous cycle. The better you do, the better you do. Connections lead to connections. Great
ideas spread.
Anatomy of a Movement Senator Bill Bradley defines a movement as having three elements: A
narrative that tells a story about who we are and the future we’re trying to build A connection
between and among the leader and the tribe Something to do—the fewer limits, the better
Leading from the Bottom (with a Newsletter)
Crowds and Tribes Two different things: A crowd is a tribe without a leader. A crowd is a tribe
without communication.
Marketing Changes Everything, but It Mostly Changes the Market
Twitter and Trust and Tribes and True Fans
The essential lesson is that every day it gets easier to tighten the relationship you have with the
people who choose to follow you.
The Status Quo Organizations that destroy the status quo win. Individuals who push their
organizations, who inspire other individuals to change the rules, thrive.
Initiative = Happiness
A Brief History of the Factory, Part 1 (the Beginning)
A Brief History of the Factory, Part II (the End)
So Is It Really a “Free Agent Nation”? The author Dan Pink coined the term Free Agent Nation to
describe a movement of smart people leaving organizations to go out on their own.
Organizations give us the ability to create complex products. They provide the muscle and
consistency necessary to get things to market and to back them up. Most important, organizations
have the scale to care for large tribes.
3. The organizations of the future are filled with smart, fast, flexible people on a mission. The thing is,
that requires leadership.
The F Word
What’s missing is the will to make the ideas happen. In a battle between two ideas, the best one
doesn’t necessarily win. No, the idea that wins is the one with the most fearless heretic behind it.
Thinking Your Way Out of the Fear Fear’s an emotion, no doubt about it. One of the strongest,
oldest, and most hardwired.
The only shortcut in this book, the only technique or how-to or inside info is this: the levers are
here. The proof is here. The power is here. The only thing holding you back is your own fear.
The Peter Principle Revisited Dr. Laurence Peter is famous for proposing that “in a hierarchy every
employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence.” In other words, when you do a great job, you
get promoted. And that process repeats itself until finally you end up in a job you can’t handle.
Worth Criticizing
Here’s the marketing math: Ideas that spread, win. Boring ideas don’t spread. Boring organizations
don’t grow. Working in an environment that’s static is no fun. Even worse, working for an
organization that is busy fighting off change is horrible.
Fear of Failure Is Overrated Fear of failure is actually overrated as an excuse. Why? Because if you
work for someone, then, more often than not, the actual cost of the failure is absorbed by the
organization, not by you.
Fear of criticism is a powerful deterrent because the criticism doesn’t actually have to occur for the
fear to set in.
The Cult of the Heretic
Challenging the status quo requires a commitment, both public and private. It involves reaching out
to others and putting your ideas on the line.
Heretics must believe. More than anyone else in an organization, it’s the person who’s challenging
the status quo, the one who is daring to be great, who is truly present and not just punching a clock
who must have confidence in her beliefs.
Should They Build a Statue of You?
the most powerful way to enable is to be statueworthy: by getting out front, by making a point, by
challenging convention, and by speaking up. Those are brave acts, and bravery begets statues.
Great leaders are able to reflect the light onto their teams, their tribes. Great leaders don’t want the
attention, but they use it. They use it to unite the tribe and to reinforce its sense of purpose.
The World’s Best Coach
Tighter The first thing a leader can focus on is the act of tightening the tribe. It’s tempting to make
the tribe bigger, to get more members, to spread the word.
Tactics and Tools for Tightness
The Internet and the explosion in social media have made it easier than ever to market. The first
kind of marketing, the act of spreading the word and reaching the unreached, allows tribes of all
sorts to form.
I’m more interested in the second kind of marketing, the act of tightening your organization and
spreading the word within the tribe. A blog is an easy way to see this method in action.
Discomfort Leadership is scarce because few people are willing to go through the discomfort
required to lead. This scarcity makes leadership valuable. If everyone tries to lead all the time, not
4. much happens.
If you’re not uncomfortable in your work as a leader, it’s almost certain you’re not reaching your
potential as a leader.
Followers
it’s the microleaders in the trenches and their enthusiastic followers who make the difference, not
the honcho who is ostensibly running the group. Leaning In, Backing Off, Doing Nothing
Leaders figure out how to step into those vacuums and create motion. They work hard to generate
movement—the sort of movement that can transform a group into a tribe.
Three Hungry Men and a Tribe
Curiosity A fundamentalist is a person who considers whether a fact is acceptable to his religion
before he explores it.
Curious is the key word. It has nothing to do with income, nothing to do with education, and
certainly nothing to do with organized religion. It has to do with a desire to understand, a desire to
try, a desire to push whatever envelope is interesting. Leaders are curious because they can’t wait to
find out what the group is going to do next. The changes in the tribe are what are interesting, and
curiosity drives them. Curious people count.
The Plurality Myth
All you need to do is motivate people who choose to follow you. The rest of the population is free
to ignore you or disagree with you or move on.
Through your actions as a leader, you attract a tribe that wants to follow you. That tribe has a
worldview that matches the message you’re sending.
The Schoolteacher Experiment
Imagine two classrooms with similar teachers. One has fifteen students, the other, thirty-two. Which
group gets a better education? All other things being equal, the smaller class will always do better.
The teacher has more time to spend customizing the lesson to each student.
Most People Don’t Matter So Much
You’re not going to be able to grow your career or your business or feed the tribe by going after
most people. Most people are really good at ignoring new trends or great employees or big ideas.
You can worry about most people all day, but I promise you that they’re not worried about you.
They can’t hear you, regardless of how hard you yell.
The Wrong Question
“How do I do this?” Or even worse: “How do I get my boss to let me do this?” Or to be really blunt:
“What’s the risk-free way to insinuate myself into the system so I get approval to make change?”
Surely, there’s a method of making change without being burned at the stake?
Nobody is going to listen to your idea for change, sagely shake his head, and say, “Sure, go do
that.”
All You Need to Know Is Two Things The first thing you need to know is that individuals have far
more power than ever before in history.
The second thing you need to know is that the only thing holding you back from becoming the kind
of person who changes things is this: lack of faith.
5. Don’t Forget the Big Mac and the Microwave Oven
Welcome to the age of leverage. Bottom-up is a really bad way to think about it because there is no
bottom. In an era of grassroots change, the top of the pyramid is too far away from where the action
is to make much of a difference. It takes too long and it lacks impact. The top isn’t the top anymore
because the streets are where the action is. The new leverage available to everyone means that the
status quo is more threatened than ever, and each employee now has the responsibility to change the
rules before someone else does. This isn’t about working your way up to the top by following the
rules and then starting down the path of changing your world. Instead, these innovations are
examples of leadership, about one heretic, someone with a vision who understood the leverage
available, who went ahead and changed things.
Who Settles?
Settling is no fun. It’s a malignant habit, a slippery slope that takes you to mediocrity.
The art of leadership is understanding what you can’t compromise on. Fear, Faith, and Religion
Religion Works Great When It Amplifies Faith
Challenge Religion and People Wonder if You’re Challenging Their Faith The reason it’s so difficult
to have a considered conversation about religion is that people feel threatened.
You can do this on purpose. You can recognize the need for faith in your idea, you can find the tribe
you need to support you, and yes, you can create a new religion around your faith.
Switching Religions Without Giving Up Faith
Faith Is What You Do If religion comprises rules you follow, faith is demonstrated by the actions
you take. When you lead without compensation, when you sacrifice without guarantees, when you
take risks because you believe, then you are demonstrating your faith in the tribe and its mission.
The Easiest Thing
The easiest thing is to react. The second easiest thing is to respond. But the hardest thing is to
initiate.
Responding is a much better alternative.
You respond to external stimuli with thoughtful action. Organizations respond to competitive
threats. Individuals respond to colleagues or to opportunities. Response is always better than
reaction. But both pale in comparison to initiative. Initiating is really and truly difficult, and that’s
what leaders do. They see something others are ignoring and they jump on it. They cause the events
that others have to react to. They make change.
Watching the Music Business Die
The best time to change your business model is while you still have momentum. It’s not so easy for
an unknown artist to start from scratch and build a career self-publishing.
Don’t Panic When the New Business Model Isn’t as “Clean” as the Old One
Sheepwalking I define sheepwalking as the outcome of hiring people who have been raised to be
obedient and giving them brain-dead jobs and enough fear to keep them in line.
It’s ironic but not surprising that in our age of increased reliance on new ideas, rapid change, and
innovation, sheepwalking is actually on the rise. That’s because we can no longer rely on machines
to do the brain-dead stuff.
The Thermometer and the Thermostat
The thermostat, on the other hand, manages to change the environment in sync with the outside
6. world. Every organization needs at least one thermostat. These are leaders who can create change in
response to the outside world, and do it consistently over time. Your Micromovement This is the
heart of the matter: every leader cares for and supports a movement.
The key elements in creating a micromovement consist of five things to do and six principles:
Publish a manifesto.
Movements that grow, thrive.
Movements are made most clear when compared to the status quo or to movements that work to
push the other direction.
Exclude outsiders.
Tearing others down is never as helpful to a movement as building your followers up.
Every Tribe Is a Media Channel
Tribes are the most effective media channels ever, but they’re not for sale or for rent. Tribes don’t
do what you want; they do what they want. Which is why joining and leading a tribe is such a
powerful marketing investment.
How to Be Wrong
The only thing that makes people and organizations great is their willingness to be not great along
the way. The desire to fail on the way to reaching a bigger goal is the untold secret of success.
The secret of leadership is simple: Do what you believe in. Paint a picture of the future. Go there.
People will follow. The Timing of Leadership
great leadership happens when the tribe least expects it. The nonobvious moments are the ones that
count. Like now, perhaps.
The Reactionary Tribe
If your goal is to make change, it’s foolish to try to change the worldview of the majority if the
majority is focused on maintaining the status quo. The opportunity is to carve out a new tribe, to
find the rabble-rousers and change lovers who are seeking new leadership and run with them
instead.
Possibility of Risk
The safer you play your plans for the future, the riskier it actually is. That’s because the world is
certainly, definitely, and more than possibly changing. When Tribes Replace What You’re Used To
we start formal organizations when it’s cheaper than leading a tribe instead.
Initiative
The organizations that need innovation the most are the ones that do the most to stop it from
happening. It’s a bit of a paradox, but once you see it, it’s a tremendous opportunity. Stuck on
Stupid
The Internet allows some organizations to embrace long-distance involvement. It lets charities flip
the funnel, not through some simple hand waving but by reorganizing around the idea of
engagement online. This is the new leverage. It means opening yourself up to volunteers and
encouraging them to network, to connect with one another, and, yes, even to mutiny. It means
giving every one of your professionals a blog and the freedom to use it. It means mixing it up with
volunteers so they have something truly at stake. This is understandably scary for many nonprofits,
but I’m not so sure you have a choice.
7. What’s helpful is to realize that you have a choice when you communicate. You can design your
products to be easy to use. You can write so your audience hears you. You can present in a place and
in a way that guarantees that the people you want to listen will hear you. Most of all, you get to
choose who will understand (and who won’t). Switching Tribes
As your tribe grows, it’s tempting to accelerate that growth, to find more people to join the tribe.
Growth doesn’t come from persuading the most loyal members of other tribes to join you. They will
be the last to come around. Instead, you’ll find more fertile ground among seekers, among people
who desire the feeling they get when they’re part of a vibrant, growing tribe, but who are still
looking for that feeling.
If you’re trying to persuade the tribe at work to switch from one strategy to the other, don’t start
with the leader of the opposition. Begin instead with the passionate individuals who haven’t been
embraced by other tribes yet. As you add more and more people like these, your option becomes
safer and more powerful—then you’ll see the others join you. Not Now, Not Yet The largest enemy
of change and leadership isn’t a “no.” It’s a “not yet.”
Change almost never fails because it’s too early. It almost always fails because it’s too late. The
curve below shows the benefits of almost any innovation over time: By the time you realize that
your corner of the world is ready for an innovation, it’s almost certainly too late. It’s definitely not
too early.
Understanding the Trick
Leadership is very much an art, one that’s accomplished only by people with authentic generosity
and a visceral connection to their tribe. Learning the trick won’t do you any good if you haven’t
made a commitment first. The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
Criticizing Hope Is Easy And in the end, cynicism is a lousy strategy. Hope without a strategy
doesn’t generate leadership. Leadership comes when your hope and your optimism are matched
with a concrete vision of the future and a way to get there. People won’t follow you if they don’t
believe you can get to where you say you’re going.
The Naked Violinist Tasmin Little is a violin prodigy who has managed to keep her career going
long after many others have faded. As one of the great violinists working today, she has had concert
tours and booking agents and a record deal.
The X Prize
Who Cares? Caring is the key emotion at the center of the tribe. Tribe members care what happens,
to their goals and to one another.
The Elements of Leadership Leaders challenge the status quo.
Leaders create a culture around their goal and involve others in that culture. Leaders have an
extraordinary amount of curiosity about the world they’re trying to change. Leaders use charisma
(in a variety of forms) to attract and motivate followers. Leaders communicate their vision of the
future. Leaders commit to a vision and make decisions based on that commitment. Leaders connect
their followers to one another.
Ronald Reagan’s Secret
What most people want in a leader is something that’s very difficult to find: we want someone who
listens.
The secret, Reagan’s secret, is to listen, to value what you hear, and then to make a decision even if
8. it contradicts the very people you are listening to. Reagan impressed his advisers, his adversaries,
and his voters by actively listening. People want to be sure you heard what they said—they’re less
focused on whether or not you do what they said.
The Forces of Mediocrity
The yin and yang are clear: without people pushing against your quest to do something worth
talking about, it’s unlikely to be worth the journey. Persist.
Leadership is the art of giving people a platform for spreading ideas that work.
Hard Just Got Easy …and vice versa.
What’s hard now is breaking the rules. What’s hard is finding the faith to become a heretic, to seek
out an innovation and then, in the face of huge amounts of resistance, to lead a team and to push the
innovation out the door into the world. Successful people are the ones who are good at this.
Which Would You Prefer: Trial or Error?
It’s a myth that change happens overnight, that right answers succeed in the marketplace right away,
or that big ideas happen in a flash. They don’t. It’s always (almost always, anyway) a matter of
accretion. Drip, drip, drip. Improvements happen a bit at a time, not as grand-slam home runs that
are easy to get.
If your organization requires success before commitment, it will never have either. Part of
leadership (a big part of it, actually) is the ability to stick with the dream for a long time. Long
enough that the critics realize that you’re going to get there one way or another…so they follow.
Positive Deviants
Leaders understand a different calculus.
Leaders understand that change is not only omnipresent, but the key to success. And it turns out that
employees who are committed to change and engaged in making things happen are happier and
more productive. Putting these two facts together, it’s not hard to come to the conclusion that you
desperately need more leaders, more deviants—more agents of change, not fewer. Great leaders
embrace deviants by searching for them and catching them doing something right.
Where Credit Is Due
The Big Yes Rene Hromek wrote to me about the BIG YES. (The capital letters are part of the deal.)
Let’s contrast the BIG YES with the “little no.” The little no is easy to find and hard to avoid. The
little no feels safe. It’s like swatting a gnat. The little no avoids a distraction, keeps you away from a
possible hassle. There are tons of little no’s everywhere we look. The BIG YES, on the other hand,
is about leadership and apparent risk. Mostly, it’s about leverage. Today, more than ever, the BIG
YES is available to every person lucky enough take it.
Imagination Albert Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” Leaders create
things that didn’t exist before.
Fierce Protection
Belief People don’t believe what you tell them. They rarely believe what you show them. They
often believe what their friends tell them. They always believe what they tell themselves. What
leaders do: they give people stories they can tell themselves. Stories about the future and about
change.
Why Not You, Why Not Now?
The barriers to leadership have fallen. There are tribes everywhere, many in search of leaders.
9. Which creates a dilemma for you: without a barrier, why not begin?
No one gives you permission or approval or a permit to lead. You can just do it. The only one who
can say no is you.
In my experience, leaders don’t need to wait. There’s no correlation between money, power, or
education and successful leadership.
The Perfect Fallacy Quality is not only not necessary, for many items it’s undesirable.
Perfect is an illusion, one that was created to maintain the status quo. The Six Sigma charade is
largely about hiding from change, because change is never perfect. Change means reinvention, and
until something is reinvented, we have no idea what the spec is.
What, Exactly, Should You Do Now?
Every tribe is different. Every leader is different. The very nature of leadership is that you’re not
doing what’s been done before. If you were, you’d be following, not leading.
Once you choose to lead, you’ll be under huge pressure to reconsider your choice, to compromise,
to dumb it down, or to give up. Of course you will. That’s the world’s job: to get you to be quiet and
follow. The status quo is the status quo for a reason. But once you choose to lead, you’ll also
discover that it’s not so difficult. That the options available to you seem really clear, and that yes, in
fact, you can get from here to there. Go.
