Tribal Leadership: Leveraging Natural Groups to Build a Thriving Organization

Summary

The book «Tribal Leadership: Leveraging Natural Groups to Build a Thriving Organization» by Dave Logan explores various levels of corporate culture and their impact on organizational effectiveness. Logan identifies five levels: from a hostile and destructive environment to a highly effective and innovative culture. At the first level, employees feel like victims and believe that «life is terrible». The second level is dominated by a sense of hopelessness, with people thinking «my life is terrible». The third level is characterized by individualism and competition, where people think «I'm great, and you're not». At the fourth level, teamwork and collaboration emerge, and people believe «we're great». The fifth level is the highest form of culture, where everyone works for the common good and believes «life is great». Logan offers strategies for transitioning between levels to improve corporate culture and increase productivity.
