Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us - A Review

Am disappointed. This book sounded more like a self-help, ra-ra you-can-do-it diatribe than it is a how-to book.

As usual, it's sprinkled with many anecdotes of little and unheard of people and companies , which as Godin asserts, are leaders in their own right. All of which helped make this book less boring, thankfully.

I distrust any business book that doesn't have a content list or even index pages, not to mention bibliography list. Is this a sign of leadership or fiction?

That the book is split into tiny sections throughout, with random (not entirely sure it's related) sub-topics, almost suggests lack of things to write from the author.

This book, in my opinion, will never be a classic like Permission Marketing. I fear that Godin might turn the same like Trout/Ries, trying to squeeze out books every other year, each worse than before.

Will I ever read another book from Godin? Sure. But if it's going to be one of those that seem to be written quickly to satisfy the book agents, just so the millions of fans can be taken advantage of, then it may be my last.
