Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us By Seth Godin ISBN13: 9781591842331

This book is excellent. It's an encouragement to become a heretic, question standards and continue to invent. Tribes is about how leaders are different than managers and how they are so much more effective. The author then applies many practical stories to his arguments which are very persuasive. We can all be leaders, we must embrace change for it is far more risky holding onto something stagnant that will eventually become obsolete. Above all, make sure you aren't sheepwalking.

If you are a leader or want to be one go out and buy this book. It will encourage and demonstrate how to lead effectively.

 

Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us By Seth Godin ISBN13: 9781591842331

This is the first of Seth's books I have read. It is a one evening job, although I read it over a couple of days during my commute.

Tribes is more a commentary on leader in a Web 2.0 world. The examples, pace and scenery of the book changes as fast a a Sesame Street show to hold your interest.

The questions throughout made me feel privileged to have a position where I can be independent and realise the freedom I do have in my job. I don't have a Tribe following me (at least last time I checked, there are no Facebook fan club in my name - lol), but the book was relevant and, surprisingly, inspiring.
