Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us

Seth Godin

Top 10 Best Quotes

“The secret of leadership is simple: Do what you believe in. Paint a picture of the future. Go there. People will follow.”

“A tribe is a group of people connected to one another, connected to a leader, and connected to an idea. For millions of years, human beings have been part of one tribe or another. A group needs only two things to be a tribe: a shared interest and a way to communicate.”

“In a battle between  two ideas, the best one doesn't necessarily win. No, the idea that wins is the one with the most fearless heretic behind it.”

“Change isn't made by asking permission. Change is made by asking forgiveness, later.”

“Leadership, on the other hand, is about creating change you believe in.”

“How was your day? If your answer was "fine," then I don't think you were leading.”

“Life's too short" is repeated often enough to be a cliche, but this time it's true. You don't have enough time to be both unhappy and mediocre. It's not just pointless, it's painful. Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, maybe you ought to set up a life you don't need to escape from.”

“Leadership is the art of giving people a platform for spreading ideas that work.”

“Yes, I think it's okay to abandon the big, established, stuck tribe. It's okay to say to them, "You're not going where I need to go, and there's no way I'm going to persuade all of you to follow me. So rather than standing here watching the opportunities fade away, I'm heading off. I'm betting some of you, the best of you, will follow me.”

“Leaders lead when they take positions, when they connect with their tribes, and when they help the tribe connect to itself.”
