of tribes and changes
Submitted by Bertrand Bhikarry on Mon, 04/12/2010 - 21:02
I found a readable book recently. However the following words are largely taken from a review by someone else.
"..this newest book by Godin (Seth Godin: Tribes) argues that lasting and substantive change can be best effected by a tribe: a group of people connected to each other, to a leader and to an idea. Smart innovators find or assemble a movement of similarly minded individuals and get the tribe excited by a new product, service or message, often via the Internet
"Tribes," Godin says, "can be within or outside a corporation, and almost everyone can be a leader; most are kept from realizing their potential by fear of criticism and fear of being wrong. He continues "We can be leaders if we want, tribes are the way of the future and change is good."
On that last note, the advice found in this book should be used with caution. "Change isn't made by asking permission," Godin says. "Change is made by asking forgiveness, later after the fact." That may be true, but in this economy and in certain situations, it may also be a good way to lose a job. "
I wonder which politician we will see coming up with the forgiveness ploy?
