Tribes Page 6-12

Tribes pages 6-12 are up for your reading pleasure. I will paste the content here and to follow along with the comments go to Tribes.

Seth, Starts off on page six talking about “How it’s easier today, then it’s ever been to connect people or tribes. He used the internet for a example as one of the tools that has helped connect people. He goes on to say that the internet is just a tool used to connect people. But we need more then just tools, we need authentic leadership to egg us on, not people who can do the job, but people who desire to make something happen.

On page seven Seth, talked about a topic We have danced around ‘MOVEMENT’ He said, that expressions of generosity is the fuel for a movement, not a marketing stunt.

On the next page We reed about opportunity. He says that there is tribes waiting for leaders and that everyone is now a leader! And with out leaders, there are no followers. After reeding about leaders it jumps into faith and talks about how We belief in an idea and in a community to build our tribe. As We build this tribe We nail it together with respect, and admiration for everyone, so that, it stays together. Then, He puts a question before us asking us, if We believe in what We do? This is a great question for us, spend some time thinking about it please! He goes on to say, that the leaders making the tribe a profitable, reliable, easier, and fun are! The heretics and the troublemakers! He says, that they bring the keys to success. He ends this topic by telling us that he hopes to make us into heretics….

New Post

Wanting to start posting again, I am going to start with the Mission Adventures Tribes blog we are doing. Here is the just of it. We as a Mission Adventures leadership in N. America are going through Seth Godin’s Tribes book. We are taking pages and posting and commenting on it to bring and see strength come to the Mission Adventures network. Feel free to read along and hopefully get inspired by what we are doing to go and start your own tribe or lead the one you are currently in.

Well my friends and anyone following here we go with the Tribes posts. We are going to post Monday- Friday, a different person posting each day. I am excited to do this with you as I believe it will be good for the network and for us personally. So, without further adieu, I am going to get into pages 1-5.

In this section Seth is introducing us to Tribes, what they are and how they can function. Two quotes stood out to me in this section. The 1st was when he said “you cant’ have a tribe without a leader- you can’t have a leader without a tribe.” I believe that we have an amazing tribe with Mission Adventures, it is leadership that we are lacking. There seems to be this mass turnover in leadership, with people getting asked to lead the program after staffing it only once and just getting overwhelmed and just feeling left to it alone, it is not fair to them. We need to look for and give this program to leaders who can carry it. It is only fair to the leader and to the program.

Second quote is when Seth say’s that “all the ways of forming Tribes that are out there are all worthless if we don’t decide to lead.”This is so true with us. Basically going off of the previous paragraph, we have a great tribe and great opportunity, but we need leaders. Leaders who commit and are invested in it. I believe that through this next season we need to pour into the young leaders in this program. Serve them, invest in them, lead them and push them.
