作者: Seth Godin

出版社: Portfolio

简介: A tribe is any group of people, large or small, who are connected to one another, a leader, and an idea. For millions of years, humans have been seeking out tribes, be they religious, ethnic, economic, political, or even musical (think of the Deadheads). It's our nature.Now the Internet has eliminated the barriers of geography, cost, and time. All those blogs and social networking sites are helping existing tribes get bigger. But more important, they're enabling countless new tribes to be born—groups of ten or ten thousand or ten million who care about their iPhones, or a political campaign, or a new way to fight global warming.And so the key question: Who is going to lead us?The Web can do amazing things, but it can't provide leadership. That still has to come from individuals— people just like you who have passion about something. The explosion in tribes means that anyone who wants to make a difference now has the tools at her fingertips.If you think leadership is for other people, think again—leaders come in surprising packages. Consider Joel Spolsky and his international tribe of scary-smart software engineers. Or Gary Vaynerhuck, a wine expert with a devoted following of enthusiasts. Chris Sharma leads a tribe of rock climbers up impossible cliff faces, while Mich Mathews, a VP at Microsoft, runs her internal tribe of marketers from her cube in Seattle. All they have in common is the desire to change things, the ability to connect a tribe, and the willingness to lead.If you ignore this opportunity, you risk turning into a "sheepwalker"—someone who fights to protect the status quo at all costs, never asking if obedience is doing you (or your organization) any good. Sheepwalkers don't do very well these days.Tribes will make you think (really think) about the opportunities in leading your fellow employees, customers, investors, believers, hobbyists, or readers...It's not easy, but it's easier than you think. 《部落:一呼百应的力量》让你思考一种机会，一种领导由网民、顾客、投资者、信徒、业余爱好者、读者等构成的部落的机会。这也许不容易，但没有你想象中的那么难。部落指的是任何一群人，规模可大可小，他们因追随领导、志同道合而相互联系在一起。人类其实数百万年前就有部落的出现，随之还形成了宗教、种族、政治或甚至音乐。互联网消除了地理隔离，降低了沟通成本并缩短了时间。博客和社交网站都有益于现有的部落扩张，并促进了网络部落的诞生——这些部落的人数从10个到1000万个不等，他们所关注的也许是iPhone，或一场政治运动，或阻止全球变暖的新方法。那么谁来领导这些部落呢？如果你不相信自己会成为领导，请再想一下那些行行色色的领导们，他们生来就是领导吗？如果你忽视领导的机会，你极有可能变成一个十足“绵羊”——就是不计一切代价维持现状，只能过着朝九晚五的上班族生活，害怕变化，对未来充满恐惧。　　本书让你思考一种机会，一种领导由网民、顾客、投资者、信徒、业余爱好者、读者等构成的部落的机会。这也许不容易，但没有你想象中的那么难。
