Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us by Seth Godin

4.0

I had the physical book in my hand, borrowed from a friend, but I ended up listening to the free download from Audible.com, from a Tweet from @audible_com. (Don't know how long it will be available: http://bit.ly/djVTd ). I think the author did a reasonable job of narrating, I don't think it significantly added to or detracted from the book.

I found his perspective on leadership interesting and his anecdotes entertaining. I liked his concept of tribes, of people bound together by a concept rather than location, and his exploration of how technology is furthering this. I liked his emphasis on getting in there and doing something, and on having passion for an idea (not for money).

Unfortunately I'm not in the right place for this book right now, as far as doing something about it. He says it doesn't matter if you are a born leader or not, I think that is easy for a born leader to say :-). I need to find my cause before I can rally people to it. But that's not the fault of the book! I'll continue my explorations of the world, and when the time comes, I'll return to the book.
