About this listen
Now the Internet has eliminated the barriers of geography, cost, and time. All those blogs and social networking sites are helping existing tribes get bigger. But more important, they're enabling countless new tribes to be born - groups of ten or ten thousand or ten million who care about their iPhones, or a political campaign, or a new way to fight global warming.
And so the key question: Who is going to lead us?
The Web can do amazing things, but it can't provide leadership. That still has to come from individuals - people just like you who have a passion about something. The explosion in tribes means that anyone who wants to make a difference now has the tools at her fingertips.
If you think leadership is for other people, think again - leaders come in surprising packages. Consider Joel Spolsky and his international tribe of scary-smart software engineers. Or Gary Vaynerhuck, a wine expert with a devoted following of enthusiasts. Chris Sharma leads a tribe of rock climbers up impossible cliff faces, while Mich Mathews, a VP at Microsoft, runs her internal tribe of marketers from her cube in Seattle. All they have in common is the desire to change things, the ability to connect a tribe, and the willingness to lead.
If you ignore this opportunity, you risk turning into a "sheepwalker" - someone who fights to protect the status quo at all costs, never asking if obedience is doing you (or your organization) any good. Sheepwalkers don't do very well these days.
Tribes will make you think (really think) about the opportunities in leading your fellow employees, customers, investors, believers, hobbyists, or readers....It's not easy, but it's easier than you think.

Gave me a great understanding of tribes and how to lead people.
Leadership, human nature and our habit to want to fit in are all discussed in this book. It definitely changed the way I will approach my business and lead my company. Another great book by Seth Godin!

Essence of leadership
There are many guides and how to books about leadership. This book though is a call for leadership.
It goes down to this:
Leaders have nothing in common besides their decision to lead.
There is no guide to leadership as a leader is about leading. If he needs a guide he then is a follower, not a leader. It's about change, about connecting together people who have a common belief, idea, project, desir. It's about connecting and inspiring to move together towards a common objective.
I really enjoyed how this book simplified the idea of leadership to it's essence.

Worth a listen, definitely had some good points
Had some good points in here, I’d say worth a listen if you’re into entrepreneurship, leadership, change making, or community building

Repetitive repetitive repetitive
I liked it but I would choose a different method to get my point across (point across point across). He repeats himself so much - I found it extremely annoying at times.

Good motivation
Many good examples that are relatable and show how sometimes you have to go off the rails to find the right path.
