Well put. Succinct and elegant. I love that you tied in Seth Godin’s piece on Tribe Management. I think that what we are going through is a heck of a lot more than a recession. I think there is a fundamental shift in how we do and measure business going on. Some if it is a return to basics (call it tribes, call it communities… same thing), some of it will be radically different. Some businesses will figure this out and get sharp and thrive, and some won’t and they will disappear.

Great piece.
