Birds Flock, Fish School, and People Tribe

~ Tribes and Culture

~ Tribes, naturally forming groups, move one cultural stage at a time on a scale of one-to-five

~ Culture emerges from language (theme), behavior (mood), and relationship structures

~ Tribal Leaders and Tribal Leadership

~ Tribal leaders upgrade tribes through cultural stages using leverage points

~ Tribal leadership involves nudging language and fostering relationships

~ Tribal leaders foster leveraging commitment to resonant core values, aligning on a noble cause, establishing triadic relationships, building a history-making strategy

Stages

~ Stage 2: "My life sucks" (25%) -Separate - Ineffective

~ Stage 3: "I’m great (and you’re not)" (49%) -Personal Domination - Useful (Dyadic)

~ Stage 4: "We’re great (and they’re not)" (22%) -Stable Partnership - Important (Triadic)

~ Stage 5: "Life is great" (2%) -Team - Vital (Triadic)

Triads

Core values are principles without which life wouldn’t be worth living.A noble cause is a pronouncement of a future state that a tribe will bring about through its coordinated action.

Each relationship is based on core values & mutual self-interest.Each leg of the structure is responsible for the quality of the relationship between the other two parts.

Tribal Leadership10

Tribal Strategy

Core values are principles without which life wouldn’t be worth living.A noble cause is a pronouncement of a future state that a tribe will bring about through its coordinated action.

A strategy takes everything into account, especially the tribe itself.

Assets(What do we have?)(Heavy, varied, and

specific)

Behaviors(What we will do?)

(General, consistent, and forwarding)

Outcomes(What do we want?)

(Big, specific, measureable, and set

in time)

Noble CauseCore

Values

Assets sufficient

for the outcomes?

Enough assets for behaviors?

Will behaviors

accomplish outcomes?

Transformation: "Principles for Practice"(Margaret Wheatley)

Essential Freedom to Create One’s Self

Organizations are “organic” and “alive” not merely “mechanistic”

“Every living being is author of its own existence, and continues to create itself through its entire life span.”

~ Engage

~ Participation is not a choice

~ Engage the whole system over time

~ Partner

~ Life always reacts to directives, it never obeys them

~ Life accepts only partners, not bosses

~ Meaning

~ We do not see ‘reality,’ we each create our own interpretation of what’s real

~ Remain curious and seek shared significance

~ Connectedness

~ To create better health in a living system, connect it to more of itself

~ Embody a profound respect for systems, increase the number, variety, and strength of connections within the system


Tribal Leadership14
