Tribes by Seth Godin
Last week I finally finished up reading Tribes by Seth Godin and I was glad that I purchased this book. Didn't come very cheap for a thin book though, haha. This book touches on leadership and that at all levels, leadership is needed. It comes in hard cover and the interesting thing is that there are no chapters in it. It just goes on and on and on and on and on.
For those looking for a great book to read, this got to be the one. Here are some quotes that are from the book.
"Without leader, there are no followers. You're a leader. We need you."
""Good enough" stopped being good enough a long time ago. So why not be great?"
"The essence of leadership is being aware of your fear (and seeing it in the people you wish to lead). No, it won't go away, but awareness is the key to making progress."
"What people are afraid of isn't failure. It's blame. Criticism."
"If the only side effect of the criticism is that you will feel bad about the criticism, then you have to compare that bad feeling with the benefits you'll get from actually doing something worth doing."
