Book excerpt: We have a strong instinct to belong to small groups defined by clear purpose and understanding--"tribes." This tribal connection has been largely lost in modern society, but regaining it may be the key to our psychological survival. Decades before the American Revolution, Benjamin Franklin lamented that English settlers were constantly fleeing over to the Indians-but Indians almost never did the same. Tribal society has been exerting an almost gravitational pull on Westerners for hundreds of years, and the reason lies deep in our evolutionary past as a communal species. The most recent example of that attraction is combat veterans who come home to find themselves missing the incredibly intimate bonds of platoon life. The loss of closeness that comes at the end of deployment may explain the high rates of post-traumatic stress disorder suffered by military veterans today. Combining history, psychology, and anthropology, Tribe explores what we can learn from tribal societies about loyalty, belonging, and the eternal human quest for meaning. It explains the irony that-for many veterans as well as civilians-war feels better than peace, adversity can turn out to be a blessing, and disasters are sometimes remembered more fondly than weddings or tropical vacations. Tribe explains why we are stronger when we come together, and how that can be achieved even in today's divided world.

Book Synopsis Tribal Leadership Revised Edition by : Dave Logan
Download or read book Tribal Leadership Revised Edition written by Dave Logan and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2012-01-03 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s a fact of life: birds flock, fish school, people “tribe.” Malcolm Gladwell and other authors have written about how the fact that humans are genetically programmed to form “tribes” of 20-150 people has proven true throughout our species’ history. Every company in the word consists of an interconnected network of tribes (A tribe is defined as a group of between 20 and 150 people in which everyone knows everyone else, or at least knows of everyone else). In Tribal Leadership, Dave Logan, John King, and Halee Fischer-Wright show corporate leaders how to first assess their company’s tribal culture and then raise their companies’ tribes to unprecedented heights of success. In a rigorous eight-year study of approximately 24,000 people in over two dozen corporations, Logan, King, and Fischer-Wright discovered a common theme: 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. Tribal Leadership will show leaders how to employ their companies’ tribes to maximize productivity and profit: the author’s research, backed up with interviews ranging from Brian France (CEO of NASCAR) to “Dilbert” creator Scott Adams, shows that over three quarters of the organizations they’ve studied have tribal cultures that are adequate at best.

Book Synopsis The House of Tshatshu by : Anne Kelk Mager
Download or read book The House of Tshatshu written by Anne Kelk Mager and published by Juta and Company (Pty) Ltd. This book was released on 2018-08-30 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In rural South Africa today, there are signs that chieftaincies are resurging after having been disbanded in colonial times. Among these is the amaTshatshu of the Eastern Cape, which was dis-established in 1852 by the British, and recognised once more under the democratic ANC dispensation, in 2003. Bawana, leader of the amaTshatshu, was the first Thembu chief to cross the Kei River, in the mid-1820s, to open up the northeastern frontier of the Cape Colony. His successors and followers fought the British in the frontier wars but were defeated. In tracing his history and that of his descendants this book explores the meaning of chieftainship in South Africa—at the time of colonial conquest, under apartheid’s bantustans, and now, post apartheid. It illustrates not only the story of a beleaguered and dispossessed people but also the ways in which power is constructed. In addition, it is about gender and land, about belonging, identity and naming. The book unsettles accounts of chiefly authority, unpacks conflicts between royal families, municipalities and government departments, and explores the impasse created by these quarrels. It retrieves evidence that the colonial state sought to obliterate and draws the disempowered back into the process of making history. The authors are both closely associated with the land and the people of the amaTshatshu. One is a historian, who grew up on their land, and the other is counsellor to the chief. As such, they bring their knowledge and respective skills to bear in this book. The collaboration of a black and a white author sets up a creative tension which animates the text and is a powerful element of the book.
Book Synopsis The Hambukushu Rainmakers of the Okavango by : Thomas John Larson
Download or read book The Hambukushu Rainmakers of the Okavango written by Thomas John Larson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In light of the terrible AIDS tragedy unfolding in southern Africa, one gets an enormous sense of sadness and loss when reading The Hambukushu Rainmakers of the Okavango. Tom J. Larson was one of the last anthropologists to experience and record their ancient culture before it was so radically impacted by modernization and the ravages of the AIDS epidemic. Over the course of many years, he earned the trust of the Hambukushu and was allowed the kind of access needed to painstakingly record the minutiae of every aspect of their daily lives. What emerged is a portrait of a complex, distinctive African culture defined by the abundance of their homeland, the vast and wild Okavango River delta, and by the powerful Rainmaker chiefs who controlled the very fabric of their existence. To read Larson's extraordinary book is to understand how the belief systems that worked so well for them for centuries wreak such havoc on them today.
