The Tribal Leadership book with Halee Fischer-Wright

Mats and Halee Fischer-Wright talk about the book she co-authored, The Tribal Leadership.  

Halee explains what is a tribe and the 5 different stages that individuals and corporations cycle through. 

Stage 1 - Life Sucks
Stage 2 - My Life Sucks
Stage 3 - I am great you are not 
Stage 4 - We are great and better than them
Stage 5 - We are creating something for a higher purpose and LIFE IS GREAT

They talk about how the different levels effect one another.  That even a rockstar CEO can get dragged down to the lower tribal levels within an organization and how we must go for “the work we want”, rather than just getting a job and they talk about Scott Adams and his Dilbert figure. 

Halee also talks about one of the most surprising moments in modern sport history, when the US hockey team in the Olympic Games 1980 against all odds won the Gold Medal and she had the opportunity to talk to several players and the head coach Herb Brooks and how this team raised to a level 5 organization. 

The also touch upon the US President, Donald Trump, who is the archetype of a level 3 person.
