Seth Godin wants you to use the Internet to communicate your passion to others.
| As the pace of change increases, the “rush from stability” combines with new technology to present everybody with opportunities for leadership, but the fear of failure inhibits people from acting differently. |
The book is a loose collection of anecdotes about creating and leading “tribes” in a world of new technology. A tribe is a group that shares strongly held beliefs or aims and forms around a leader.
The essence of leadership is a willingness to fail and to lead people further than they have ever been.
