Three is the new two.
The most valuable relationships are not made of two people, they're made of three. A third person will always stabilize and grow the relationship between the other two. It's called a triad, and the more you create, the stronger your network. So next time you go to Starbucks, take two professional contacts and introduce them (or deepen their relationship with each other), on the basis of what motivates them, a mutual interest, or a shared project.
Listen for the values underneath it all when your companions speak. Discover mutuality. Then say what connects the two people at a deep level. You will instantly create a triad - the building block of a Stage Four culture and the basis of great Tribes.
Needle Moving Challenge:
To see a quantum leap in your relationships, set up three triads this week (even if only by email). You will quickly see a shift in your network or your office.
Send us a paragraph on how it went and we'll send a free copy of the book and our new DVD to the person who writes the best story (or we'll send one anonymously to the recipient of your choice).
The Tribal Tip is for leaders using principles from Tribal Leadership (HarperCollins, 2008 by Dave Logan, John King, and Halee Fischer-Wright). Thoughts? Comments? Questions? Send any input, or your own Tribal Tip to Dave Logan (logan@culturesync.net).
