Leaders must empower others within the tribe to take on leadership roles from "summary" of Tribes by Seth Godin
In tribes, leadership is not about hoarding power or keeping all the decision-making to oneself. It's about empowering others within the tribe to step up and take on leadership roles. This concept might seem counterintuitive to some, as traditional leadership models often emphasize the importance of a single, charismatic leader at the top. However, in today's fast-paced and constantly changing world, this top-down approach is no longer effective. By empowering others to lead, a tribe can harness the collective intelligence, creativity, and energy of its members. When everyone has the opportunity to contribute and lead in their own way, the tribe becomes stronger and more resilient. It also allows for a more dynamic and adaptable leadership structure, where different individuals can step up to lead in different situations based on their unique strengths and skills. This distributed leadership model not only benefits the tribe as a whole but also helps to develop and nurture future leaders within the tribe. Empowering others to lead also fosters a sense of ownership and accountability within the tribe. When individuals are given the opportunity to take on leadership roles, they are more invested in the success of the tribe and are willing to go above and beyond to make a positive impact. This sense of ownership can drive innovation, collaboration, and overall growth within the tribe. It also creates a culture where leadership is not limited to a select few but is accessible to anyone who is willing to step up and take on the challenge.- By empowering others within the tribe to take on leadership roles, a leader can create a more inclusive, engaged, and effective tribe. This approach not only benefits the tribe in the short term but also lays the foundation for long-term success and sustainability. As Seth Godin says, "Leadership is about creating change that you believe in." And one of the most powerful ways to create change is to empower others to lead alongside you.
