Discussion Topic: We will only ever listen to ourselves! Book title: Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us by Seth Godin In this episode of the YOML 'Year of Magical Learning' podcast, we dive into a reflection on Seth Godin's book 'Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us.' The hosts explore the concept of tribes, the importance of leadership, and how the internet has revolutionised tribal connections. They discuss Godin's three-step process to building a tribe: the desire to change, the ability to connect, and the willingness to lead. The conversation also delves into the idea that true leadership arises naturally based on the needs of a given situation and that individuals only follow others when they share common goals.
