In "Unite the Tribes: Leadership Skills for Technology Managers," bestselling author Christopher Duncan shows technology managers how to end the small and petty workplace conflicts that prevent their companies from banding together against the real enemy: the competition. Filled with guidance for effectively managing even the most conflict-ridden organization, "Unite the Tribes" teaches tech leaders how much they can accomplish when they inspire their workforce to work together.
The first edition of "Unite the Tribes" catered to both managers and lower-ranking employees, but this updated 2nd edition targets tech leaders and managers of divided and dysfunctional companies who are seeking to benefit from the many advantages that follow when a company maintains a cohesive work environment. Although the forming of tribes is unavoidable, the job of these leaders is to build an united, powerful, and enduring empire, which Duncan gives instruction on how to do in his book. He encourages building a connected outlook across all levels of a company in order to achieve higher employee morale, greater profits, and increased productivity, What employees usually don't understand is the reality that their long-term prosperity as individuals operating within a company depends upon the long-term prosperity of the company itself.
