A tribe is any group of people, large or small, who are connected to one another, a leader, and an idea. For millions of years, humans have joined tribes, be they religious, ethnic, political, or even musical (think of the Deadheads). It's our nature. Now the Internet has eliminated the barriers of geography, cost, and time. All those blogs and social networking sites are helping existing tribes get bigger and enabling new tribes to be born--groups of ten or ten million who care about a political campaign, or a new way to fight global warming.

Who is going to lead all these tribes? The Web can do amazing things, but it can't provide leadership. That still has to come from individuals--people just like you who have passion about something. Anyone who wants to make a difference now has the tools at their fingertips.

If you think leadership is for other people, think again--leaders come in surprising packages. Ignore an opportunity to lead and you risk turning into a "sheepwalker"--someone who fights to protect the status quo at all costs, never asking if obedience is doing you (or your organization) any good. Sheepwalkers don't do very well these days.

Tribes will make you think (really think) about the opportunities for leading your fellow employees, customers, investors, believers, hobbyists, readers.... It's not easy, but it's easier than you probably imagine.

Good Book

I found this was a good book, but reading it made me realise I already had the qualities talked about and there for didn't learn much from it. If you want to know if you are the type of person who can lead a tribe worth the read.

It got better

Reviewed in Australia on 4 August 2016

I started a bit if a sceptic and almost didn't finish it - too vague, general and not enough unique insights. It improved and I did finish it! It was worth the perseverance.

Four hours later and I’m changed forever.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 November 2017

This book was recommended in a business seminar that I attended recently. I downloaded it straight away. Pondering on what direction to take my business in, it was the obvious book to read. It made me realise why I was stuck, not knowing where to focus my efforts. I was afraid of reaching out to and leading my tribe. This book made me realise that what I was in fact resisting is stifling responsibilities of management. A great leader is creative with the subtleties of leadership, is an enabler, a pioneer of change and progress. Thank you Seth Godin for helping to fill the void.

Tribe or Tribes

I BOUGHT THIS BOOK for three main reasons: Seth Godin has a good reputation in the blogging world; I had heard him on Tribes in a TED talk; and I was looking for some helpful basics on how to think about putting a Blog community of supporters together.
My focus isessentially on book writing, reviewing, publishing and marketing, so initially I found Tribes less helpful than I’d expected.
In historical and anthropological terms, a tribe is "a social division in a traditional society consisting of families or communities linked by social, economic, religious or blood ties, with a common culture and dialect, typically having a recognised leader". (Google defn.)
A traditional tribal group generally has no written language, only the spoken word. and not unusually, there are different recognised roles for men and women (and children) in traditional societies.

But I also understand the general direction in which Godin’s 'Tribes’ is heading, and with a different definition: "A tribe is a group of people connected to one another, connected to a leader, and connected to an idea". Godin's understanding of present-day tribes in advanced societies focuses on members who are in possession of sophisticated hardware and software to create on-line (rather than face to face) communities. These are Godin's ‘Tribes’ who might never meet face-to-face, and are vastly different to older, anthropological communities where the lives of tribal members are constantly at risk and total commitment to a tribe is vital.
For one thing, in the new world of Godin's ‘Tribes’, we can simultaneously belong to any number of different tribes if we so choose. We can drop in and out as each one chooses. The commitment level feels very different, as the modern ‘Tribes’ are much more communities of mutual interest than communities of kinship. With so much done for free and given freely, creating a new Tribe becomes, in Godin's words 'an act of generosity'.
What struck me most is the role of leadership in the Tribes that Godin refers to.
Here, leadership is not traditional command and control, etc, but someone (or someones) who has the vision, pursues it, and draws together a community of mutual interest for the journey. It takes a great deal of leadership vision and commitment to start a new Tribe, which presumably is what every present-day author now needs to do; and the new tools are, in essence, the shifting landscape of social media platforms.
So the encouragement and vision that Godin gives is worth the 4 stars I’ve given 'Tribes'.

But, whether I am closer to my own goal to draw together and createa new ‘Tribe’ around a new theme that has multiple dimensions, is still far from clear! - Rob Mackintosh

Build a tribe and make something truly remarkable happen

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 November 2018

Verified Purchase

Did you ever feel so passionate about something you wanted to start a movement.

I know I have and this book will show you that the world needs people like you and me to do just that. The world needs people with well meaning passion to bring like-minded people together to find new ways of being, new ways of living, new ways of making the most out of this beautiful world we can call our own.

Have you ever heard the one about 'no man is an island' and how much more we can achieve if we do things together, if we join forces to collaborate to achieve things we know are right and we want for ourselves and our communities. This book will encourage you to step off your island and gather your people to you. How to reach out to people who are hungry to make connections and change things for the better.

Do you ever feel you are sleep-walking through life and it's passing you by far too quickly. That one day you'll look up and it will be too late to do anything meaningful that you can look back on and treasure. This book will show you how you can't afford to keep on complying and accepting the status quo, making do and putting up with things that get you down and make your life a misery.

If you have a passion for what you want to do and the drive to make it happen, there is a tribe of fellow employees, or customers, or investors, or readers, just waiting for you to connect them with each other and lead them where they want to go.

Go build your tribe and make something truly remarkable happen!

A collection of thoughts and blog posts. Didn't really develop the idea of building a tribe or how to do it. Not Seth's best work. Buy his, 'Icarus Deception' instead

Cracking book to inspire leaders

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 January 2017

Verified Purchase

Good book, lots of common sense in there about leadership. Did he tell me anything I didn't know, not sure. But I definitely feel inspired after reading it. I like to think of myself as a heretic, which is why the book resounded so well with me. I agreed with his philosophy and loved all the examples in the book too. It was amazing and awe inspiring to read about so many different leaders - ones who's businesses I already knew of and yet hadn't heard their stories. This is a great book for anyone who has an idea and wants to lead a change.
