In 1988, Mitch Russo had a problem. His little software company, Timeslips Corp was overwhelmed with tech support calls and he needed more revenue to expand. Almost by accident, he stumbled upon a process called "certification" which, at first, almost crashed the company but later, when refined and revised, became the foundation for growth to 8 figures.By 1991, Mitch had built a massive group of Certified Consultants that reduced tech support costs by 20%, gave his little company a national presence with over 350 offices nationwide while also evolving into his 3rd largest sales channel. Eventually, that very process that took Timeslips to its peak, was deployed by CEO friend Scott Cook for Intuit. Today, Intuit has thousands of Certified Pro-Advisors which all came from the information Mitch shared with Scott.Modernized and streamlined, Mitch Russo created a set of tools, templates, and processes that can help anyone who wants to create their own certification program accomplish that on their own. This book takes certification one step further and helps companies create a massive force of loyal, enthusiastic fans who pay for the privilege of becoming a member of your tribe and help build a bright and rewarding future working with you. See exactly how Intuit, Microsoft, Salesforce, Infusionsoft, Hubspot, and others created unstoppable brands all by using certification. Not just letting some customers buy a "certificate" The PowerTribes book explains how to build an unassailable force of nature that can carry your company long into the future, as both an alternate sales channel and as a culture-driven community!

The New York Times, BusinessWeek, and Wall Street Journal Bestseller that redefined what it means to be a leader. Since it was first published almost a decade ago, Seth Godin's visionary book has helped tens of thousands of leaders turn a scattering of followers into a loyal tribe. If you need to rally fellow employees, customers, investors, believers, hobbyists, or readers around an idea, this book will demystify the process. It's human nature to seek out tribes, be they religious, ethnic, economic, political, or even musical (think of the Deadheads). Now the Internet has eliminated the barriers of geography, cost, and time. Social media gives anyone who wants to make a difference the tools to do so. With his signature wit and storytelling flair, Godin presents the three steps to building a tribe: the desire to change things, the ability to connect a tribe, and the willingness to lead. If you think leadership is for other people, think again—leaders come in surprising packages. Consider Joel Spolsky and his international tribe of scary-smart software engineers. Or Gary Vaynerhuck, a wine expert with a devoted following of enthusiasts. Chris Sharma led a tribe of rock climbers up impossible cliff faces, while Mich Mathews, a VP at Microsoft, ran her internal tribe of marketers from her cube in Seattle. Tribes will make you think—really think—about the opportunities to mobilize an audience that are already at your fingertips. It's not easy, but it's easier than you think.

Between the early 17th century and the early 20th, nearly all U.S. land was transferred from American Indians to whites. Banner argues that neither simple coercion nor simple consent reflects the complicated legal history of land transfers--time, place, and the balance of power between Indians and settlers decided the outcome of land struggles.

“Surprising and remarkable…Toggling between big ideas, technical details, and his personal intellectual journey, Greene writes a thesis suitable to both airplane reading and PhD seminars.”—The Boston Globe Our brains were designed for tribal life, for getting along with a select group of others (Us) and for fighting off everyone else (Them). But modern times have forced the world’s tribes into a shared space, resulting in epic clashes of values along with unprecedented opportunities. As the world shrinks, the moral lines that divide us become more salient and more puzzling. We fight over everything from tax codes to gay marriage to global warming, and we wonder where, if at all, we can find our common ground. A grand synthesis of neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy, Moral Tribes reveals the underlying causes of modern conflict and lights the way forward. Greene compares the human brain to a dual-mode camera, with point-and-shoot automatic settings (“portrait,” “landscape”) as well as a manual mode. Our point-and-shoot settings are our emotions—efficient, automated programs honed by evolution, culture, and personal experience. The brain’s manual mode is its capacity for deliberate reasoning, which makes our thinking flexible. Point-and-shoot emotions make us social animals, turning Me into Us. But they also make us tribal animals, turning Us against Them. Our tribal emotions make us fight—sometimes with bombs, sometimes with words—often with life-and-death stakes. A major achievement from a rising star in a new scientific field, Moral Tribes will refashion your deepest beliefs about how moral thinking works and how it can work better.
