Teacher, Thought Leader, and Author of Tribal Leadership:
John King is the co-author of The New York Times #1 best-selling book titled Tribal Leadership. This book is noteworthy because it changed the trajectory of thinking about leadership and organizational culture.
The premise is simple in theory: every organization is composed of tribes – naturally occurring groups of 20-150 people. However, few organizations have a repeatable roadmap for leveraging natural groups to build thriving and resilient leaders and organizations.
