I had a Tribes blog post all set to go! Loved the book because Godin talks in sound bites -- so many great take aways for such a tiny book. Some of my other favorite quotes: "[You have] everything you need to build something far bigger than yourself. The people around you realize this, and they are ready to follow if you're ready to lead." pg37 "Ordinary folks can dream up remarkable stuff fairly easily. What's missing is the will to make the ideas happen." pg42 "We choose not to be remarkable because were worried about criticism." pg 46 "It's easy to hesitate when confronted with the feeling that maybe you're getting too muich attention." pg50 "If you're not uncomfortable in your work as a leader, it's almost certain you're not reaching your potential as a leader." pg55 "All you need to do is motivate people who choose to follow you. The rest of the population is free to ignore you or disagree with you or move on." pg65 "...Trying to lead everyone results in leading no one in particular." pg65 "Change isn't made by asking permission. Change is made by asking forgiveness, later." pg 70 "Faith is the cornerstone of humanity; we can't live without it. But religion is very different from faith. Religion is just a set of invented protocols, rules to live by (for now)." "The best time to change your business model is while you still have momentum." pg 94 "I'm lucky enough to have a job where I get to make change happen." pg 101 "The secret to leadership is simple: Do what you believe in. Paint a picture of the future. GO there. People will follow." pg108 "The organizations that need innovation the most are the ones that do the most to stop it from happening." pg113 "If your organization requires success before commitment, it will never have either." pg132 "Perfect is an illusion, one that was created to maintain the status quo." pg140 Matt, you beat me to the punch line.
