Seth Godin and Tribes
Seth Godin is my blogging hero. In Seth's Blog, he "riffs on marketing, respect, and the way ideas spread." What stands out for me is how thoughtful Godin is. He talks about issues that are both current and timeless, but rather than provide the typical over-the-top-knee-jerk reaction to things, he provides real insight in how to look at issues from a different perspective. The first line of his current post is "If you sell crack to kindergarten students, no need to read this." You get the picture.
Seth recently spoke at the TED conference and it is one of the best talks I've seen. Speaking on issues of ideas, values, leadership and tribes, Seth makes a compelling case that the power to lead change is in the hands of ordinary people. We are trying to integrate many of these ideas into our work at Intelligent Futures and I'm sure that Seth will continue to provide great insights as we move ahead.
Here's the talk. It's 17 minutes well spent:
