Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us Kindle Edition

The New York Times, BusinessWeek, and Wall Street Journal Bestseller that redefined what it means to be a leader.

Since it was first published almost a decade ago, Seth Godin's visionary book has helped tens of thousands of leaders turn a scattering of followers into a loyal tribe. If you need to rally fellow employees, customers, investors, believers, hobbyists, or readers around an idea, this book will demystify the process.

It's human nature to seek out tribes, be they religious, ethnic, economic, political, or even musical (think of the Deadheads). Now the Internet has eliminated the barriers of geography, cost, and time. Social media gives anyone who wants to make a difference the tools to do so.

With his signature wit and storytelling flair, Godin presents the three steps to building a tribe: the desire to change things, the ability to connect a tribe, and the willingness to lead.

If you think leadership is for other people, think again—leaders come in surprising packages. Consider Joel Spolsky and his international tribe of scary-smart software engineers. Or Gary Vaynerhuck, a wine expert with a devoted following of enthusiasts. Chris Sharma led a tribe of rock climbers up impossible cliff faces, while Mich Mathews, a VP at Microsoft, ran her internal tribe of marketers from her cube in Seattle.

Tribes will make you think—really think—about the opportunities to mobilize an audience that are already at your fingertips. It's not easy, but it's easier than you think.

Tribes is a must read for all of us. It's up to each one of us to lead in today's new kind of world

Tribes is a short book - only 147 pages. But its short size belies its true importance. As I read it, I was literally underlining every other sentence. I went through two highlighters before I finished! This is one of the most important books I have read this year.I highly recommend it

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Seth Godin is the author of 20 international bestsellers that have been translated into over 38 languages, and have changed the way people think about marketing and work. For a long time, Unleashing the Ideavirus was the most popular ebook ever published, and Purple Cow is the bestselling marketing book of the decade.

He worked as a year as the volunteer founding editor of The Carbon Almanac, and his recent bestsellers also include The Practice and This is Marketing.

He's a recent inductee to the Marketing Hall of Fame, and also a member of the Direct Marketing Hall of Fame and (go figure), the Guerrilla Marketing Hall of Fame.

His book, Tribes, was a nationwide bestseller, appearing on the Amazon, New York Times, BusinessWeek and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists. It's about the most powerful form of marketing--leadership--and how anyone can now become a leader, creating movements that matter.

His book Linchpin came out in 2008 and was the fastest-selling book of his career. Linchpin challenges you to stand up, do work that matters and race to the top instead of the bottom. More than that, though, the book outlines a massive change in our economy, a fundamental shift in what it means to have a job.

In addition to his writing and speaking, Seth was founder and CEO of Squidoo.com,. His blog (find it by typing "seth" into Google) is the most popular marketing blog in the world. Before his work as a writer and blogger, Godin was Vice President of Direct Marketing at Yahoo!, a job he got after selling them his pioneering 1990s online startup, Yoyodyne.

He's known as a pioneer in online education, and was the founder of the altMBA.

I started a bit if a sceptic and almost didn't finish it - too vague, general and not enough unique insights. It improved and I did finish it! It was worth the perseverance.

I found this was a good book, but reading it made me realise I already had the qualities talked about and there for didn't learn much from it. If you want to know if you are the type of person who can lead a tribe worth the read.

An easy read from start to finish, written in an informal and non traditional way almost like a conversation, this book inspires thought of leadership and motivates action.

Also a short read, I read it in just less than a week, worth every penny and I would recommend anyone wether or not you wish to be a leader as this book inspires action to pursue what you love whatever it may be, very transferable skills, I would read it again.

Genius.

Reviewed in Canada on 6 January 2019

Honestly, I can't believe this muh magnificience is contained within this small book. It might be that I really correlate and ''fit'' with the content, just like a relationship, when you fit, sparks can happen. if you feel like a leader and have always knew you were here to lead in some way, even if it's just that you know you're here to have a leader attitude in the household, family, friendship, surrounding. It is something that will awaken the leader within.

Know that this book about ''leader'' has nothing to do with domination, Seth Godin understand very well the game, and is not into abuse, persuasion and other things that are not in correlation with honesty, he is very clean and wonderful, it's true leading that he is talking about.

I'm still quite at the beginning of the book and I can tell, I don't know if there is spiritual quotes or spiritual masters named in the book, but for sure, this is leader spirituality, this is mastery. Go ahead a get it my friend hahaha.

I love it... He wakes up my own genius... That's what genius is.
