April 2019 – the birth of a tribal leader

Tomáš Tureček, a member of the Red Button network, shares his thoughts on the book.

How successful groups become great organizations

Birds form flocks, wolves form packs, and humans form tribes—groups of twenty to one hundred fifty people. Tribes are the fundamental building blocks of any larger human endeavor. They have more influence and significance than teams, entire companies, or even the most capable CEOs. It is the tribes that decide whether a new leader will succeed or soon be replaced. Some tribes demand maximum performance from all their members and constantly evolve. Others do only what is absolutely necessary. What causes this difference in performance? Their tribal leaders.

Tribal leaders focus on strengthening the tribe, more precisely on developing the tribe’s culture. When they succeed, the tribe moves from one success to another. For many people, this is a big mystery: how do they do it?

If you ask them, many tribal leaders can’t clearly explain what they do differently. After reading this book, you will understand the key to their success—and you’ll be able to emulate it.
