Description:
The concept of tribal leadership has been introduced by David Logan in his book Tribal Leadership: Leveraging Natural Groups to Build a Thriving Organization in 2008. A tribe is a self-assembling group of 5-150 people who have something in common. This could be your business, your club, your colleagues, or your church group, for example. But they are not always what you assume they would be. They are groups or groups within groups where people find a shared camaraderie and interest.
The author has identified five stages of maturity and performance for the tribes. And leadership needs to evolve accordingly, developing tribes to move up the maturity scale. The themes identified are a simple way to relate to the leadership challenge of each tribe stage.
