Tribal leadership, where do you fall?

David Logan and his colleagues have done some amazing research. They study tribes. Tribes within society, are groups of 20 but no more than 150. I am going to discuss the framework of his T.E.D. talk, but if you want to watch it your self here is the link (https://www.ted.com/talks/david_logan_tribal_leadership)

In this talk, David discusses how no matter your socioeconomic background or where you aspire to be, you fall into one of these categories of tribal leadership. listed below are the general world views of those groups

Tier 1: life sucks.

Tier 2: my life sucks.

Tier3: I’m great.

Tier 4: we are great.

Tier 5: life is great.

Upon glance, we all won’t tier 5! but let’s do a breakdown of each tier.

Tier 1- ( life sucks) the statement of gangs, prisons, and school shooters. they see no light at the end of the tunnel and settle for the simple view of everything is an atrocity.

Tier 2: (my life sucks) Someone who transitions from stage one to stage two. For example: when a child from the inner city goes to a school in a fluent neighborhood. They may say “ my life sucks, if I had this money it wouldn't, but I don't so it does”
