i've been processing where God has led me and how I can lead my tribe effectively and intentionally rather than just doing. I've had some long conversations with my wife about a long-term digital strategy. The whole social media thing really just opened wide for me in terms of ministry in the past 4 months.

There's so much valuable insight in these comments. Thanks to everyone for sharing and participating. I think that we, Jarrod and I as a business partnership, are seeing some benefit and gaining some traction in building and developing our website and using these various communication tools (Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.) to deliver our message to our potential and existing tribe members. I know we've seen direct correlation in traffic and page hits as we've provided valuable content. I've heard it said before and I've heard John say it recently, good SEO is called consistent, relevant content. The secret to that, I think we're all finding, is having that passion for something and sharing that passion. But the real secret is taking that passion and that desire to share and taking it to the next level by facilitating discussion and activity with others who also share that passion. Much like what we're doing with this group blog project. We all have a shared interest in leading and being led, or else we might not be doing this. And while John deserves much thanks for his vision and his desire to do this, it took more than desire. It took him opening up his blog and his time to facilitate. The best part about all of this, though, is the fact that this provides mutual benefit for all of us participating. From the wisdom shared and wisdom learned, to the development of our own tribe and the development of this common tribe, the underlying foundation is one of mutual benefit for all those involved.

"Too much of a happy go lucky attitude" Phillip, I don't see that as a negative to leadership. I'm sure I'd more easily follow you than your colonel in the Army.

Leadership is not an easy thing for me; accidentally or intentionally. Too much of a happy go lucky attitude – or so I was told by my Colonel in the Army.
But I agree – it is an easy way out.
Yet now with the internet and the incredible rise of social social networking there is an opportunity to become a good leader with intention and honest hard work as apposed to having that gift that everyone wishes they had (the one where people just follow like sheep based purely on personality)
The internet has given me that opportunity to lead, now I need to be intentional about it.

I need to work on fewer tribes I think — I'm a joiner. As a writer, I want to write about everything that cross my path. I know from my own experience that I'm much more effective when I focus more on areas of real passion, rather than areas of interest.

Like Jarrod, I also need to learn how to utilize the various forms of communication – Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, my blogs.
