Lead Your Tribe, Love Your Work

I've recently become the manager of a team so although this book is aimed at entrepreneurs I hoped it would provide some insight for me to build a tribe with my team. There are lots of tips and examples from Piyush's experience with Digital Tutors, but as this is a short book (less than 200 pages) I felt they glossed over the difficulties of making change. However for a quick and easy read it has lots of tips and inspiration.

I received a copy of the book through NetGalley.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. This is an inspiring story about the lessons learnt by the author from when he started this business with only a few dollars to when he sold it (for $45 m) 15 years later.

It is clear that the Piyush was not motivated by cash, but rather had a clear vision for his business from the beginning, adapted the mission to changing circumstances, and never compromised on his values.

As an owner of my own business I related to all of these issues. Many I have experienced first hand. While I nodded in some places, at other times I made notes and I plan to try out some of the suggested actions and recommend my clients do so too.

I found Piyush's style of writing appealing. The conversational (less formal) tone made it easy to read. As a result, I think it will have a broad appeal to the business community.

Each of the short chapters (3 to 5 minutes) focus on a key issue, there are specifics, supported by great stories. This bite-sized approach meant that I didn't stop partway through a chapter but got to enjoy the full perspective being communicated (the beginning, middle and end). The content complemented other leadership books I have read, I am planning to work back through the book for a second time in the not too distant future to work through his action lists in more detail.

I highly recommend this book!

With many thanks to NetGalley for the advanced copy, I am very grateful for the opportunity to review this book

We all know the importance of building a strong culture in our organisations. Piyush shares an insiders view of how he went about creating a unique and a strong culture in the company he founded by sharing his practices and their impacts through nice short stories.

This is one of the best books that I have read about building a culture and leading a tribe in a long time...

I really liked Piyush Patel book. Tackling loving your work is such an important and overlooked piece of our life right now and Piyush walks us through how to get there and how to lead your tribe, that group of people that believe in what you are doing.

I've heard so much about tribe and culture when it comes to organizations but never quite grasped how to go about forming them and this book gave me so many practical takeaways that increased my understanding.
It's always great feeling like you belong somewhere and there's this section where the author expounds on their meeting ritual that I liked. I'd love to try it out with my team where there's 60 minutes of value stories from them, team updates come next in 30 minutes and then important dates and financials in 15 minutes and lastly a big takeaway from the meetings in 15 minutes.
I received an arc from NetGalley in exchange for a review but instead, I've got practical insights to improve not just my team but how I value them and make it known to them.
