- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Be wary of books that need to repeat in every chapter the amount of research that authors did to write them. Quantity will never compensate for quality. If the research is good, it is obvious from the quality of insights and the way it presents the results. Tribal Leadership gives nothing substantial to back up its claims. After 10 years long research they often chose to present cases of fictional characters from movies and anecdotes dating decades back, instead of showing what they actually worked on...Good research also shows outliers, open questions, nuances, and important assumptions it was based on, because reality is complex and it is hard to create a model that will capture all the factors. But not in the case of Tribal Leadership! Here everything fits the model perfectly. There is no doubt that it completely describes how things work.But is this model any good? It might not be entirely accurate to be useful after all. It seems that it could be helpful, some points ring true, tips sound intuitively good. I guess there is something valuable hidden there. However, it is nothing groundbreaking, rather simple (if not simplistic), and I'm not sure if it deserves 300 pages long book. Appendix A explains everything on 12 pages - you can read it to get all value of this book in 5 minutes or less. I would recommend doing so because the language of the book is flat and uninteresting. To compensate for this authors are overly excited about their findings and repeat them so many times that I had to take long breaks to recover.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5There are some good parts to this book but overall it makes a bunch of claims that seem a bit made up to me. It puts business folks into 5 categories of development and asserts that certain traits are better than others without any data to back it up.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5..somewhat painful to read because of how flat the language is. Despite what supposed marvels of organizational management they describe in the book, the writing style is so unsophisticated and almost uninteresting that it becomes a pain to keep going. The vocabulary is simplistic, the formulation is so overstated and the message repeated so many times that you can't possibly not get it, it practically reads like advertising copy.Not to mention this 5 stage plan that they have conceived as the one and only insight into the whole domain of business is very tiresome to hear about when it's more or less the only thing they have to say.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The authors have a sound base in research and practice with business and non-profit organizations. As humans we are hardwired to be in tribes (informal groups, teams, clicks, buddies, sewing circles, etc.) Using this book a tribe can be ranked by talks and acts. The rank ranges from life sucks all the way to life is great. A tribal leader is someone who helps nudge their tribe to the next level. The authors provide lots of concrete evidence and actionable advice.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It's amazing the way the authors have shown how we naturally form into tribes and how the best companies (the ones with great cultures and high profits) are the ones where employees speak in a different way. The authors give the tools to turn around any organization.
