Stop dreaming small, or you will always be small.
From the beginning of time, people have been working for a living and, chances are, you're carrying on this tradition. Whether you labor as a frontline worker or toil in high-level management, this book is for you.
This isn't a Greek tragedy nor a retelling of the woes of the business world that we hear about every day in the news, and it's not a comedy that pokes fun at the idiocies that people witness daily in the workplace. Unite the Tribes: Ending Turf Wars for Career and Business Success shows the imaginary lines that divide companies into separate “tribes,” with each fighting the other in small and petty turf wars. From this new perspective, you'll see how such internal divisiveness weakens your business and makes employees vulnerable to competitors in the marketplace. Most of all, however, this book demonstrates how important the overall health and well-being a company is to each individual who works there.
In an age when it's common for people to be apathetic about the profitability of the companies they work for rather than thinking only of their personal needs, it may not be immediately apparent why one should work to unite isolated workplace tribes into a single, invincible empire. The reason, however, is as timeless as it is relevant to individual paychecks: rich and powerful empires have more wealth to share. Weak and vulnerable ones collapse, and, when they do, jobs die with them.
No matter which tribe an individual belongs to, his or her loyalty must be to the greater good of this empire. Tribal members must stand together. No matter what part they play, they work not in isolation, but side by side with others. The message here is simple: strive for excellence and inspire those around you to reach for greater heights themselves. Whether you are a manager or a worker, bring people together, reward their efforts, and give them a reason to care about the cause. Do this, and you will know only victory and prosperity in your workplace.
Company goals and personal aspirations are not at odds. They coincide at critical points. Both corporations and individuals seek success, financial freedom, security, and the recognition of accomplishment, and both face the same basic challenges: competition (whether from other employees or other companies), changing technologies and economic conditions, and a host of other events that can disrupt even the best-laid plans.
Unite the Tribes: Ending Turf Wars for Career and Business Success presents a practical, ten-step strategy complete with the tactics you will need to implement changes that work in the real world. Get ready for change, get excited, and take action now!
