Upgrade Stage Two to Three

• Find a person who “sucks less.”

• Mentor them, off-line from the tribe (so no one else can hear).

• Use Stage Three language, such as “I think you have

real potential.”

• Keep it up until you get the success indicator: the

person uses Stage Three language.

• Immediately make the person a mentor for someone

else at Stage Two.

| 12

Upgrade Stage Three to Four

• Find every person’s values, using open-ended

questions.

• Speak in terms of shared values.

• Build triads: three-person relationships where each

one is responsible for the quality of the relationship

between the other two.

• Turn aspirations into a short-term plan.

Upgrade Stage Four to Five

(Use Sparingly)

• First, make sure the tribe is stable at Stage Four.

• Ask: “How can we make history?”

• Focus on a micro strategy that will produce

industry-shaking innovation.
