Review: 'Tribes' by Seth Godin

Leadership isn't something reserved for the CEOs of this world - if you care deeply about making some type of change happen, the only thing preventing you from taking the lead is your own hesitation. Tribes is a meditation on the nature of leadership and what it means to lead a group of people toward a shared objective.

There are millions of people in this world who care about the same things that you do - people who would be willing to follow, as long as you step up to take the lead. As it turns out, leadership is a lot like marketing - do something worth talking about and worth getting excited about, and your "tribe" will find - and follow - your lead.

The internet has made organizing a tribe of common cause much easier, but leadership is ultimately a human act. By reading Tribes, you'll have a greater understanding of why people form tribes, and a greater confidence in your ability to lead people towards something great.


(The Personal MBA also recommends two other books by Seth Godin: Permission Marketing and All Marketers Are Liars.)
