"A group needs only two things to be a tribe:
"Tribes need leadership. Sometimes one person leads, sometimes more. People want connection and growth and something new. They want change."
Great leaders create movements by empowering the tribe to communicate. They establish the foundation for people to make connections, as opposed to commanding people to follow them.
This is how Skype spread around the world. Cofounder Niklas Zennström understood that overthrowing the tyranny of the phone companies was too big a project for a small company. But if he could empower the tribe to do it themselves, to connect to one another and to spread the word, he would be able to incite a movement.”

- providing tools to allow members to tighten their communications; and
