Overview: In this episode, Garry Ridge discusses the importance of servant leadership and tribal engagement in achieving success. He talks about the attributes of tribalism, such as learning and teaching, belonging, values, and specialization, and how these can be applied in modern organizations. He also shares his thoughts on the role of a tribal leader and the values he looks for in hiring people.

Highlights:

"I am committed to the task of servant leadership in that I am here to help others succeed."

"One of the biggest desires we have as human beings is to belong."

"Tribes had values. What are the values there for? To help protect people and set them free?"

"Some tribe members are better warriors, and others are better builders, and others are better sales people, and some are even good customer service people."

"Doing the right thing is most important."
