Building the Kiva tribe


I have this vision of building a huge Kiva tribe on the A&M campus. A tribe according to Seth: is taking finding something worth changing and then assembling tribes to do it. I want to create a Kiva movement. And I have to find those connectors who want to participate in social change.
A few things I have learned down the way while implementing this idea:

1. Marketing is so more important that one would think and so is the art of persuasive communication.
2. Learning to work in groups is an invaluable skill.
3. Leading a group of people is challenging. Delegating the right tasks and eliciting from people more than what they think they can do.

One of the best lines from Seth " You don't need to have charisma to be a leader.Being a leader gives you charisma"
