Discussion: The Three-Skill Approach and the Tribe

Now that you are well versed in the three-skill approach to leadership and the stages of tribal leadership, discuss the following for our first question of the module:

Think about all three levels of leadership covered in the three-skill approach (supervisory, middle, and top), and consider the different skill mixes required for each level (for instance, the supervisory level mix requires heavy technical skills and human skills, but it does not require heavy conceptual skills).
