Tribes:We Need You to Lead Us by Seth Godin    160 pages

Whether you are leading a movement, a company, a scout troop, a religious organization, etc. whatever group of like minded individuals, this book is for you.  It will tell you how to find your "tribe" - people working toward the same goal, whether PETA working toward saving animals, conservationists working toward saving the rainforest, Trekkies, etc.  social media has opened up the means to concur geography, time differences, inflated costs to allow people wanting to be a part of any ideal followed by others on the planet to make things happen and change the world.   Every tribe must have a leader - someone who is willing to take the lead so that the followers can amass and work toward solutions.  It all starts with the desire to change things.   Forming and leading tribes is easier than you think and Seth Godin explains how and encourages every reader to go forth and do.   Good book.   I recommend this to high schoolers on up.
