Topic: Tribalism in software development teams

About the topic: We are social animals. We have evolved to depend on our tribes, literally, for our safety and survival. We identify ourselves as members of all sorts of tribes; our families, political parties, race, gender, social organizations. We even identify tribally just based on where we live.
From my speech, you will learn the traits of strong tribes and the journey any group has to make to become a real tribe. We will be looking at the tribes you belong to and how can you help them become stronger and healthier.
