TRIBAL LEADERSHIP:
LEVERAGING NATURAL GROUPS TO BUILD A SUCCESSFUL ORGANIZATION PROGRAM GUIDE SPONSOR
Thurssday, February 16, 2012 • Beverly Hilton
TODAY’S PRESENTATION TRIBAL LEADERSHIP Every organization and company is a tribe, or a network of tribes-groups of 20 to 150 people that form naturally, in which everyone knows everyone else, or at least knows of them. In this highly interactive session, Dave Logan shows executives how to upgrade their organization one tribe at a time. The result is unprecedented impact and financial success. At the heart of this session is the principals’ ten-year study on 24,000 people (published in 2008 by HarperCollins as Tribal Leadership by Logan, King, and Fischer-Wright) that mapped, for the first time, five stages of corporate culture and the unique leverage points to nudge a group forward. The five cultures are: • Stage One: criminal clusters, such as gangs and prisons, where the theme is “life sucks,” and people act out in despairingly hostile ways. • Stage Two: the dominant culture in 25 percent of workplace tribes where people say, in effect, “my life sucks,” and exhibit behavior of apathetic victims. • Stage Three: the dominant culture in almost half of U.S. workplace tribes, where theme is “I’m great.” This personally competitive cultural stage produces only limited innovation and almost no collaboration. • Stage Four: representing 22 percent of tribal cultures, where the theme is “we’re great.” Stage four is the zone of Tribal Leadership where the leader upgrades the tribe as the tribe embraces the leader. Stage Four is the beginning of high performance. • Stage Five: the culture of 2 percent of the workforce tribes, where the theme is “life is great” and people focus on realizing potential by making history. Teams at Stage Five have produced remarkable innovations, leading their industries and the economy. Participants will leave with the ability to assess their workplace tribes and upgrade each, one stage at a time, until all are all at least Stage Four. People can then launch 90-day strategies to accomplish important outcomes. The result is industry-leading productivity, innovation, collaboration, and job satisfaction. BENEFITS At the end of the session, participants will be able to: • Assess their culture’s effectiveness level. • Improve the effectiveness of their culture. • Take the first critical steps in building a higher-level culture. • Identify shared values in their organization. • Build upon shared values to overcome lack of consensus.
