Program Summary

TRIBE ID-1.jpg

Managers work to get their employees to do what they did yesterday, but a little faster and a little cheaper. Leaders, on the other hand, know where they'd like to go, but understand that they can't get there without their tribe, without giving those they lead the tools to make something happen.

Managers want authority. Leaders take responsibility.

We need both. But we have to be careful not to confuse them. And it helps to remember that leaders are scarce and thus more valuable. [1]


TRIBE is a program designed to cause our good leaders, and those with the potential to be good, to become our best. The curriculum will challenge each participant to explore their own leadership strengths; to better understand how to use them to create sustained, positive transformation within Mozilla. Beyond that, the program will help our current and future leaders learn how to nurture an environment of mutual trust and respect, one that creates stronger employee performance and engagement and ultimately results in greater overall impact on objectives.
