David Logan on tribal leadership
David Logan is an expert in the practice of understanding people’s communication within a company.
In this talk, he explains how five kinds of tribes are naturally formed by humans. Each tribe is in a stage. So, there are five stages.
The first one, is the lowest one and we need to learn from it. This stage produces people who do horrible things. After this stage comes stage two, this is when people do every kind of thing to survive even if that means undermining other people. The next stage is number three, this is the one that many of us are in. In this stage everyone says “I’m the best. And you’re not”. The difference between stage three and four it is that in number four we say “we’re great” nstead of saying “I’m great”. Finally, the headline of number five says that “life is great”. The people in this stage are the ones that change the world.
In conclusion, everyone wants to stay in stage five but most of them there are not: 2% are in stage one,25% are in stage two, 48% are in stage three, 22% are in stage four and 2% are in stage five.

IS ENGISH A MANIA?
My parents always wanted to go to England, but they were waiting so far just for a reason: they don´t know how to speak English, so they were waiting until I could manage to speak it.
In my opinion, this question is a bit difficult to answer. What I mean is that it isn´t a piece of cake. On the one hand, English could be a mania, but on the other hand not. Personally I don´t have a clear idea.
Fistly, I´m going to explain why it can be a mania. To begin with, English is a really important lenguage and everyone wants to speak it. This is because it´s like a global lenguage. What I want to say is that with English you can comunicate almost with all the people in the world. For example, if you want to have an important job, such as a politician, you really need this lenguage to speak with people in other countries. However, if you like travelling you should also speak English because if you get lost or you have to ask for something English is really useful.
Although English is a very important lenguage, it isn´t used everyday. This is because we aren´t used to speak a lot of English, we just speak it when we are in English class or if someone English is with us. But we don´t speak English in our homes because each country has its own lenguage, and if we don´t speak our own lenguages they will get lost.
So, is English a mania or not? To tell the truth I have no idea. Everyone wants to study it, but anyone speaks it unless it´s necessary.
