David Logan: Tribal leadership

http://www.ted.com At TEDxUSC, business professor David Logan talks about the five kinds of tribes that humans naturally form -- in schools, workplaces, even the driver's license bureau. By understanding our shared tribal tendencies, we can help lead each other to become better individuals.

Oh my god. Zappose looks like the shittest place to work. Overbearing "happy" people everywhere.

[Interstices Implication]

Fuck this hierarchy. This dude is such an elitist!

[jonathan angelilli]

this is awesome! transformational tribes are the only thing that has ever "worked" on this planet and the only thing that ever will.

[22Kyu]

So in effect, WE ARE THE ONE PERCENT !! :D

[Ryan Gatts]

I'm always surprised how codified we try to make everything. It's like the arbitrary power levels of Dragon Ball Z in here.

[Ryan Gatts]

yay rounding :D

[C Money]

That's cool. This makes sense.I appreciate it.

[Alex Templeton]

I am really impressed by this presentation, and I have already shared it. We need to stop being so afraid of one another's potential to learn from each other, and help those out of stage 1 and 2, as well as realize how stage 4 and 5 are isolated and that elitism and nepotism has potential to be equally destructive to apathy and terrorism. We are all connected.
