Deep dives
Network Tribes and the Struggle for Civility
Network tribes are inherently aggressive and constantly seek out weakness. To mitigate this, organizations must foster a corporate culture of civility from the start. However, using coded language and pattern matching outside the organization to attack enemies only leads to division and vulnerability. The politicization of corporations and aligning with tribal networks can backfire and lead to significant consequences for the brand. The danger lies in the aggressive nature of network tribes and their perpetual search for new enemies, creating a chaotic environment.
