Tribal Business School is a series of journeys in search of the ultimate business secret: the secret of survival and success. From some of the best, and one or two of the worst, organisations on our planet, to tribes in Papua New Guinea, Tuareg in the Sahara, Saami in the Arctic and nomads in Mongolia. The journeys show why tribes survive in extremely harsh conditions for generations, while business empires rise and fall steadily. In the last 25 years, over 800f the top companies in the USA and the UK have either been over taken or taken over: perhaps we can learn something from the ultimate survivors. Tribal Business School unpicks every element of business survival and success, including: The art of unfair competition: how to kill a lion and your competition Leadership: from charisma and inspiration to courage, contribution and responsibility Organisation and the end of excellence: the search for fit and focus Culture and values: respect for the individual or respect for the community? Information Technology: trust the messenger, not the message. Tribal Business School is highly informative, wholly original and is at severe risk of being entertaining. ""An entertaining and highly original perspective on the art of leadership,"" Heath Monk, CEO of Future LeadersOwen, Jo is the author of 'Tribal Business School: Lessons in Business Survival and Success from the Ultimate Survivors', published 2008 under ISBN 9780470727812 and ISBN 0470727810.
