It's a fact of life: birds flock, fish school, people "tribe."Every company, indeed every organization, is a tribe, or if it's large enough, a network of tribes—groups of 20 to 150 people in which everyone knows everyone else, or at least knows of everyone else. Tribes are more powerful than teams, companies, or even CEOs, and yet their key leverage points have not been mapped—until now.

It's a fact of life: birds flock, fish school, people "tribe."Every company, indeed every organization, is a tribe, or if it's large enough, a network of tribes—groups of 20 to 150 people in which everyone knows everyone else, or at least knows of everyone else. Tribes are more powerful than teams, companies, or even CEOs, and yet their key leverage points have not been mapped—until now. In Tribal Leadership, Dave Logan, John King, and Halee Fischer-Wright show leaders how to assess their organization's tribal culture on a scale from one to five and then implement specific tools to elevate the stage to the next. The result is unprecedented success.In a rigorous eight-year study of approximately 24,000 people in over two dozen corporations, Logan, King, and Fischer-Wright refine and define a common theme: the success of a company depends on its tribes, the strength of its tribes is determined by the tribal culture, and a thriving corporate culture can be established by an effective tribal leader. Tribal Leadership will show leaders how to employ their companies' tribes to maximize productivity and profit: the authors' research, backed up with interviews ranging from Brian France (CEO of NASCAR) to "Dilbert" creator Scott Adams, shows that over three quarters of the organizations they've studied have tribal cultures that are merely adequate, no better than the third of five tribal stages.Leaders, managers, and organizations that fail to understand, motivate, and grow their tribes will find it impossible to succeed in an increasingly fragmented world of business. The often counterintuitive findings of Tribal Leadership will help leaders at today's major corporations, small businesses, and nonprofits learn how to take the people in their organization from adequate to outstanding, to discover the secrets that have led the highest-level tribes (like the team at Apple that designed the iPod) to remarkable heights, and to find new ways to succeed where others have failed.
Overall I think this book had some good points to make. Networking, finding "tribes" at work, and using language to influence that tribe to behave a certain way are useful ideas that are actionable and backed by data.
However like many books in this vein it feels as if the page count was padded with anecdotes that slowed down the pace and perhaps spaced the real lessons too far apart. I found myself having to turn back a few pages to remember what the point of a particular story was supposed to be.
Overall I'd recommend the book but it might be sufficient to read the summary at the end of each chapter.
Had to read this for a leadership cohort at work. Appreciated the insights and concepts, but would have been fine just reading the CliffsNotes summary were it not for cohort accountability. 😅
4,5 estrellas. Particularmente me ha gustado mucho que el modelo esté orientado al lenguaje empleado, creí que además el libro se entiende muy bien (más allá de algún ejemplo muy de cultura pop americana), y tiene varios consejos que quiero poner en práctica. El concepto de triada me parece genial
