The dimensions of tribal behaviour
Gaining access to the deepest and strongest humans motivators
I’ve seen many teams, departments and organisations trying to rediscover themselves, to find a more effective way to function in this new fast-paced economy.
What is interesting is that although every organisation has its different context, they always face similar stories which have a common denominator: the social dynamics.
Have a look at those common anecdotes:
“Each group defended its own turf, setting their own agendas above those of the company.”
“Everyone blames everyone else.”
“We desperately want to build and manage a great place to work, but every day we face a cesspool of dissent, non-cooperation, hidden agendas, power play, concealed realities, backstabbing, and low-level warfare.”
“My colleague was upset about what he considered to be an invasion of his territory.”
“There seems to be an undercurrent of behaviour that I cannot pin down.”
“Everybody focuses on where the next assault is going to come from and how their alliances are holding up, rather than putting effort into making the organisation more effective.”“We seem to be locked into an ongoing low-intensity war.”
