I’ll try and say this in tough love way. People love to be part of a group. Most people like to follow. But I think Seth’s vision was to create leadership; to forge NEW alliances and relationships based on common understanding. We need to challenge ourselves and each of us needs to take on a role of leadership and reach beyond this group. As Gary V. has always said, if we are passionate about what we love, we will have no problem leading. People are attracted to strong leadership. If we are not passionate about what we are doing, we need to have some self examination about it and what our expectations are. Our objectives need to be more than the feeling of belonging and comradery. People are looking for someone to follow. Without at least designating a leader I think we may be actually short changing everyone with the potential of a tribe. You know there’s been a lot of talk about failing forward and this is a case where were not even having a chance to fail. If there ends up being leadership that you don’t agree with, you then can start your own tribe and lead it the way you think applicable. If we have nothing to compare our expectations against, we will never grow as leaders. Because how can we disagree with such a large group? I know there are pockets of people who get together for more than just syndication purposes. We need everyone doing that. I have a feeling some members will step forward.

As a fairly new member of this tribe I would like to head a group not just for syndication purposes, but masterminding. I want to have a weekly think tank of 5-6 people who are out of the box thinkers. People who have ideas floating around but never got a chance to manifest them. People who have vision and maybe just need a group like this to kick em’ in the butt. A group where we actually learn how to implement and practice leadership. This could be a group that not only helps us create new ideas and concepts on ways to increase our brands on the net, but also to create products and help us create leaders in our business organizations. This is what I think Seth was envisioning.

I look forward to your responses.

Have a remarkable week.

Great post, I have many people whom I comment on their blog, share and RT each others content etc, but I’m not really part of any specific tribe.

I’d be interested to know more about your satellite tribes, so lets chat next week and we can work something out.

Many Thanks
Gavin

Congratulations on your ititiative Phil – hope it goes well and if there is any way that I can support the movement (and maybe even have a piece of it LOL) let me know! I’m going to be watching your progress with great interest.

SUPER post! I love the energy you have in the way you describe the tribe and what we’re doing to help each other grow. Never before have we had a situation in business where so many business owners can band together; it is a win-win for all concerned.

Let’s all jump in, the water is great! WHOO HOO, I’m with you!

Great job!
