Tribal Leadership

Tribal Leadership: Leveraging Natural Groups to Build a Thriving Organization (2008) is a #1 New York Times Bestseller by Dave Logan, John King, and Halee Fischer-Wright that describes the results of an organizational research study. The authors found that corporate leaders could use the groups within their companies to maximize corporate productivity and profitability, and they suggest that learning how those groups communicate is the key to understanding how the company operates. The book is illustrated by case studies from such corporations as Amgen and IDEO.

Methodology

Logan, King, and Fischer-Wright define a common theme from the ten-year study of approximately 24,000 people in more than two dozen corporations: "The success of a company depends on its tribes." The strength of its tribes is determined by the tribal culture, and a thriving corporate culture can be established by an effective tribal leader.

The Five Stages

Tribal Leadership identifies five stages of tribal culture and advises how to support entire tribes of people to move from one stage to the next.

David's Mighty Warriors

David's Mighty Warriors (also known as David's Mighty Men or the Gibborim) are a group of men in the Bible who were singled out by an appendix of the Books of Samuel. The text (2 Samuel 23:8–39) divides them into the "Three", of which there are three, and "Thirty", of which there are more than thirty. The text explicitly states that there are 37 individuals in all, but it is unclear whether this refers to The Thirty, which may or may not contain The Three, or the combined total of both groups. The text refers to The Three and The Thirty as though they were both important entities, and not just an arbitrary list of three or 30-plus significant men.

Some textual scholars regard the passages referring to The Three and The Thirty as having come from either a source distinct to the main sources in the Books of Samuel, or being otherwise out of place. Since parts of the text have distinct stylistic differences from other portions—appearing as a list, as a series of character introductions, or as a flowing narrative—Some suspect that the passages may themselves be compiled from multiple source documents. Further, as 2 Samuel 23:23–24 reads "...David put him in command of his bodyguard. Asahel, brother of Joab. Among the thirty were...", the text is regarded as corrupted, and the middle of verse 23:24 (between the words Joab and Among) is generally presumed to have been lost (some translations move Among the thirty were to be before Asahel, which smooths over the issue).
