Seth Godin's TRIBES

I just finished reading Seth Godin's book "Tribes". The subtitle - We Need You to Lead Us, gives you an insight to the core themes. While he centralizes on leadership, he does a great job on the many various facets surrounding leadership, becoming a leader, today's weaknesses of leadership and our society. He likes to reflect his expression by the the good outcomes of heritecs.

I like his thoughts on "stuck on stupid" and also sheepwalking - which essentially is "hiring people to be obedient and giving them brain-dead jobs". Also, "don't settle" [for mediocre].

It is a great easy read, with plenty of wisdom and thought. The only complaint would be his attempts to bring in religion and faith into his discussions. Not only do they not fit well with his message, his apparent non-religious personal aspects can be negating to those who do.

Please read this book. I highly recommend it.
