Tribal leadership
Leveraging Natural Groups to Build a Thriving Organization
Book • 2007
Tribal Leadership explores how organizations are composed of naturally occurring groups of 20 to 150 people, which the authors term 'tribes.
' The book, based on a 10-year study involving 24,000 people in over two dozen organizations, outlines a framework to understand, motivate, and grow these tribes.
It introduces a five-stage model of tribal culture, from Stage One (despairingly hostile) to Stage Five (focused on making a global impact).
The authors provide actionable advice on how leaders can upgrade their tribal culture to enhance organizational performance, employee satisfaction, and innovation.
