Tribal Leadership & Avatar (The Movie)

Go see ‘Avatar’.

A dying Stage 3 Command and Control culture is in brutally dominating conflict with an idyllic, meritorious networked Stage 4 tribe. Ultimately, the Stage 4 culture, against impossible odds, combines with Nature to accomplish a Stage 5 Noble Cause project – the freedom of their tribe and the sanctity of their homes and families from the murderously oppressive Stage 3’s.

Everything in this movie is about relationship and connection. A small but interesting notice; in the ritual choreography, the tribe forms triads to hook up a network of collaborative energy. The point is made, by the Sigourney Weaver character, “Grace’, that the Sacred Tree is actually an intelligent network with more neural connections than the human brain, and that the tribe was tapped into that connection with Nature.

The tribal conversation is out there, in the world – and writer/director Cameron has done a brilliant leadership job, in this masterwork “Avatar’ project. He successfully created a stable environment for hundreds of artists and technicians to express their leadership and creativity in the service of telling of the heroic story of Core Values driving Behaviors that unfold a Noble Cause. This film is a breakthrough in technology while relating a story that is as old as people have told stories. It is also, a classic representation of the inner principles of Tribal Leadership.

Overview:

Social Fusion is a Tribal Leadership technique used by business leaders to quickly expand their network.

Typically, business people build their network by asking people they know for referrals. This goes against a fundamental “rule” of business to give first, before receiving.

Additionally, once a person makes the connectioin they often find themselves at the hub of number of separate relationships that have to be independently managed and cultivated. This takes lots of time and energy and is very ineffective.

Tribal Leadership - Old School Networking

The new networking model flips the old school networking approach on end. Instead of asking for referrals you go out of your way to give referrals to people you know. When you refer people you know to each other, you establish yourself a valuable asset to people you know and build a network that manages and cultivates itself.

Social Fusion - New School Networking

How it works

Introduce two people based on shared values and mutual interest. This relationship consisting of 3 people all interconnected is called a “triad.”
Ask for each to contribute, and to receive contribution, in a specific way.
Check in whether they connected again in one week. If they’re working on something, you’ve fused them.
Keep going until you’ve fused six new professionals into your tribe.
Sign of social fusion: the new person shows up at social events, having been invited by your contacts.
