YouTube video: Seth Godin on the tribes we lead.

Tribal Leadership (How to Lead a Tribe)

1. WHO are you leading is a more important question than HOW are you leading.

2. What people want from their leader more than anything is TO BE MISSED when they are not there.

3. You don't have to have charisma to be a leader. Being a leader gives you charisma.

4. Leaders commit to the cause. They commit to the Tribe. They commit to the people who are there.

More about Tribes is available from Seth's book here.

A few thoughts about you and me

Allow yourself to relax and understand what we have in common. You have a spiritual itch. So do I. That's why I tell original stories and guided meditations. There's a bit about my faith journey here (what a long, strange trip it's been!). Here is what some other people say about me. Since 2007 I've served as Pastor of St. John's Presbyterian Church in Houston. Let's connect! Friend Jon Burnham on Facebook; follow @burjon on Twitter; Circle me on Google+. I hope to hear from you soon because we share a lot in common. For example, we are both human beings in search of a better life.
