Tribal Leadership

Google Tech Talk
January 18, 2011

Presented by Dave Logan.

ABSTRACT

Every organization and company is a tribe, or a network of tribes-groups of 20 to 150 people that form naturally, in which everyone knows everyone else, or at least knows of them. In this highly interactive session, Dave Logan shows executives how to upgrade their organization one tribe at a time. The result is unprecedented impact and financial success.

This is one of the best talks I've ever seen. Insightful and illustrative.

[Ariesxe]

Absolutely inspiring talk. It was a great idea to have watched this before heading to work, haha.

Although we are primarily a stage 4 organization with a smattering of 3s, and intellectually somewhere I think we all understand that, it's great to have this vocabulary to define it, and improve our sort of tribal culture.

Thank you.

hello,

This is a great article and a great website. I liked it very much. It will help me to optimize my websites in Europe.

thanks

this room in google needs fewer, more comfortable chairs. This room is never filled for talks.

[AntsanParcher]

The talk is really helpful, although he kinda sounds like stage three himself and I think the focus on needing a competitor for stage 4 is somehow... strange. Then again this talk is mostly focused on a free market environment, so that's no big surprise.

[ZirconCode]

Thank you =)

WalMart = Stage 1

[tberthel]

What matters is what people can produce. Life has nothing to do with what people think. People that are oppressed should be angry. This kind of Nazi propaganda sucks.

[Buckiller]

@TrueSoreThumb agree. They need titles. Though they do have abstracts in the description.

[TrueSoreThumb]

@Buckiller I agree that they're usually as good--I haven't watched them in awhile. I think I blame the video titles and content being catchier in the Tech Talks than just the mention of a presenter's name. :/
